Steven, thanks for the reply.:-)

I have done all that and Media Player was not auto installed. I did finally
get it to install from the W2002 upgrade CD. But when I try to run it, I
get the message to check the path, that it can't find player.exe. It was
installed to \Program Files\Windows Media Player. But I get the same
message when I try to run it directly from there.

There is no folder \Windows\Player but I'll make one and move it in. See if
that helps. I'll keep you posted.
