How exactly did you try to go from ver. 9 to ver. 11?
At what point are you receiving the error?

during the installation of the upgrade to wmp11.  also I checked the properties of the wmpnetwk.exe file, it indicates that it may be a vista file...I downgraded from vista to xp recently

You should download files for XP, they are different.
