media center has its own update service, just open media center and go to settings, there should be a option to force updates...

no disrespect freebird, but are you running a legit version of windows? because most people who are not have to get direct download links to updates...

interesting. is it one of those special HP versions of Vista that come preloaded with a bunch of crap on them? if so those programs are prolly somehow interfereing with it. but it is most likely the fact that you are doing a custom update and choosing IE/WMP ...

All the media players are here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/AllDownloads.aspx

For Media Center go here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-media-center/get-started/default.aspx

Tick "Launch Media Center Now", do whatever it requires and somewhere along the line it will update it.

does media center not come with your OS? because if it doesnt come with it their might not be a way to get it. Certain versions of OS's are locked from certain features.

obviously i've media center in my OS. :)

anyways, what about WMP? can't i update it?
when i plug in my nokia 5800 to my laptop using usb, it shows found new hardware "mpt device" which fails to install.

i googled and found that this will be solved after WMP update/reinstallation, so i need to install WMP again/update..
