Actually it's supposed to be

microsoft.public.windowsmedia.player

I don't know if this post addresses my problem. I recently installed Windows
XP SP3 afterwhich when I receive Updates & try to install them I get a
message that States "The Following Updates Were Not Installed" the listed
items are all of the new updates. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
