I ran into the same issue in 2011 upon first returning to BiaB. My preferred media player was WinAmp so I deleted Windows Media Player only to find out I needed it for BiaB demo files.

Microsoft will let you download the last version of media player, 11, that works with XP but you have to have service packs 2 and 3. ++ HERE ++ is a link you can follow to download Media Player 11.
