WinXP Emulator?

Well I have some software that I need to use. The software unfortunantely only works with Windows Media Player 10 and that only works on WinXP. I have Win2000 and I am trying to find ways to somehow get Windows Media Player 10 to work on this computer. A couple ideas include:

A dual boot of Win2000 and WinXP
An emulator of WinXP that would run Windows Media Player 10 on Win2000

Im not sure if either one of those is actually possible, they are just ideas of mine. If yall know of different ways to approach the problem, let me know.

Thanks in advance,
mandoro
