I have the exact same problem as you do! I too have an XP and the same thing happens when I try it.
So, I tried on my Vista laptop and it worked perfectly, so I'm wondering if the patch doesn't work for older operating systems like XP....But, a couple years ago, the first patch worked on the hunk of junk computer, so that puzzles me...
...I'm gonna do some detective work around the net. Maybe I'll find something. I'll hand over the verdict on my next edit.
