Show what i'm listening to plugin

My option to "show what i'm listening to" when I try to 'apply' it, a pop-up
message says that feature is only available with WMP Ver. 9 or later. I have
WMP VER. 11?!
In windows media player 11 the windows live messenger plugin is ticked
My live messenger is Version 2008, my WMP is Ver. 11 and my OS is Windows XP
Home Edition.
I have downloaded the bonus pack, selected wmp plugin on media player under
'now playing', 'more options', copied the msgrapp.dll file from messenger to
media player in prodram files and nothing has worked!! This has been going
on for months and i have resorted to no longer using this feature. CAN OR
CAN'T IT BE RESOLVED??
