Ensure that the total amount for the membership plan you choose is available in your checking account or credit card. Add “Watch Instantly” movies or television shows to your queue. The media files that are available for instant streaming have the “Add/Play” button below them. Browse through the available titles until you’ve found the one that you want to watch. Click on the “Add/Play” button to add it to your queue. Open Windows Media Player in Windows XP. Click on “Start,” “All Programs” and “Windows Media Center.” Click on “Movies” and then the “Watch Instantly Netflix” link.
