Windows Media Player 11 on Windows XP SP3- Classic Menu/Playlist now working

[suzannex11]

I am using HP laptop & having issue with Windows Media Player 11. I have Windows XP Pro SP3 on my computer.
I need to see "Playlist" of currenlty playing or queued up songs but for some reason its not visible. I am missing "Now Playing" window/tab which I read online can be enabled by trying Ctrl+M or "Classic Menu". I tried that without any success. Spent many hours on internet but couldn't find any solution.
Can anyone help me enable "Playlist" on my WMP11.0?

thanks,
SX

There are two things you can do here. First upgrade Windows Media Player to 12. It is available on the net for download. Second there is a Now playing plugin for Window Media Player. Called as Brandon Fuller Now Playing Plugin it allows you to get the default Windows Now Playing screen on the media player. You can try both the options and in my view going for a upgrade will be better one.
