Windows Media Player backtracking.

So i updated windows media player, and now apparently i dont have a legit copy of XP so it wont even finish installing for me. I try to instsall Series 9 and it says "you already have a more current version, bye"

Wtf you microsoft. Anyone know how to get around this?

There's your problem. If you want to get a free OS, instead of pirating Microshit Winblows, you should download a flavor of Linux which is both free and legal. It's vastly superior in nearly every way, except for games/compatibility. But only kiddies play the vidya gaems anyway.
