Automatic Updates will not work. This only downloads and installs updates that Microsoft deems as critical security updates. You need to look in your Start menu for Microsoft Update. This will take you to their Update web site. When it opens click on "Custom" button. This will list all the updates available for your computer. Some will require restarting your computer, so you won't be able to install all of the updates in one session. You will have to go back to the site several times to get them all.
Your Internet Explorer like many programs will tell you what version by clicking on Help and open About Internet Explorer.
The Windows Media Player is what is needed not the media center. You should be able to find it in the Start Menu or if you have the Quick Launch Toolbar it will be on it as well. Again open it and look in the Help menu for About Media Player to find the version.

I guess the only problem I have is that is seems to react slower than the other version.

This is where it gets a bit complicated. How much memory and what speed do you have. If you right click on "My Computer" icon and go to Properties, the first page of the window that opens will tell you this information. The other thing is how big is your hard drive and how much of it is used?
Scanning will only help if you have a virus or outside introduced problem. What you need to do is defragment your hard drive with Windows defrag utility.

I think it was tools I had gone into this morning , found a window that displayed the hoster file as def001hst-Hoster that was where I also found two other files above it that said def.001.bootscootin boogie, in the past when I have clicked on the icon on the main page it comes up in the upper left corner as def.001 boot scootin boogie insteasd of def001.hst-Hoster, I think that I deleted on of them, but, I cant check at this time cos I cannot get into it! Thats about all I can tell you, I really appreciate your time in trying to help me.....many thanks

I am still not understanding this. It sounds like you are getting multiple copies of Hoster being opened at once. You are going to need to go through the steps you are doing and write down exactly what you are doing step by step so you can post it here. Tell us exactly what you are clicking on, single or double click, what opens, etc.
