I just recently did a new XPSP2 install on a new computer and I'm getting the
same message. I've been using WMP 11 for the past 6 months without any
issues on my previous XPSP2 install. Now with my new XP install I get the
message all the time. Is there any way to tell the WMP programming team
directly?
