Hello and welcome to PCHelpForum.

What version of XP do you have installed?

Connect to a Windows XP-based computer that is running Windows Media Connect

After you download and run the setup package from the Web site, the installation program automatically configures and authorizes your Xbox 360 console. You can reconnect your Xbox 360 console if you have to, or you can connect an additional Xbox 360 console to a Windows XP-based computer. To do this, follow these steps.

Note The computer that you use must have the Windows Media Connect software installed. If the computer has the Windows Media Connect software installed, follow these steps to add another Xbox 360 console that the computer can serve data to. Or, if your current Xbox 360 forgets where to obtain data, follow these steps:
  1. In the Xbox Guide on your Xbox 360 console, open the Media section, and then select Video Library, Music Library, or Picture Library.
  2. Select Computers to connect to the Windows XP-based computer.
  3. You are prompted to install the Windows Media Connect software on the Windows XP-based computer. If you have not already done this, see the information in the "Download the connectivity software" section. If you have already installed the software, select Yes, Continue to continue with the connection.
  4. Select the Windows XP-based computer that you want the Xbox 360 console to connect to, and then press A to complete the connection.
  5. On the Windows XP-based computer, click Start, and then click Control Panel.
  6. Click Windows Media Connect, or click Sound, Speech, and Audio Devices, and then click Windows Media Connect.
  7. Click Devices, and then click to select the Xbox 360 console that you are trying to connect.
  8. If the Xbox 360 console shows Denied in red, click Allow to authorize the Xbox 360 console.
You can use windows media player with XBOX 360.http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/pcsetup/XPSP2.htm
