About a month ago my windows media player on vista wouldn't start when I
click on it anywhere all I got was the loading circle for a second and
nothing. It had been working for about 3 weeks. I think it started playing up
when I had a problem with my updates. About that time a lot of my programs
wouldn't start and I thought it was because of the updates. But since I have
fixed the problem most of my programs started again but windows media player
didn't. How do I make it go again?

What changed before it broke?

If you open cmd.exe with Administrator privileges and run "regsvr32.exe
wmp.dll", does WMP work then?

Some party/app out there is breaking/deregistering WMP. I don't think it's
SatelliteTVforPC here... there appears to be some other app doing something
very screwy here. I'm getting close to offering a bounty on that madness.
=P

This should work. It worked for me

1. Click Start, click Accessories, the right click on Command Prompt
and choose "run as administrator", then type regsvr32 jscript.dll, and
then hit enter.

2. Type regsvr32 vbscript.dll then hit enter.

3. Now type exit and hit enter. Now try media player and it should
work.

Cody, you're a genius. The regsvr commands did the trick. The customer
had just gotten the laptop back, Vista, and all of a sudden WMPlayer
wouldn't start. Thanks!!!
