I am having to use extremely old laptop which is running XP sevice pack 1. When I have tried to update XP some kind of major error occurs with the laptop and Windows will not reboot. The only way I can then fix things is to load up in safe mode and reinstall XP.

The media player on my laptop is very old and I would like to download a newer version . If I download a new version of say Windows Media will it also download the XP updates that cause my laptop problems?

If so, would an alternate Media player ie Realplayer avoid this problem?

Many thanks
