Help - Windows Update & Windows Media Player both stopped working

Just discovered that my Windows Media Player 11 no longer works - it appears
to load but then nothing.
I then downloaded the file and re-installed it - same problem.

To make matters worse, I seem to have lost Windows Update capability. When I
click on "Windows Update" the page displayed at windowsupdate.microsoft.com
is just blank.

My 3 other computers on my LAN work fine.

Suggestions please!!!

Windows XP Pro on all systems
