Windows Media Player 11 Won't Open

Written by Daniel Mundy | 28 October 2009

Windows Media Player 11 wouldn't open. Downloading it again and reinstalling didn't help. When you double click on the icon, or try to open a video file, nothing happens. It is not even listed in Task Manager.

The fix:

1. Open a Command Prompt (as Administrator)
2. Type: regsvr32 jscript.dll
3. Then type: regsvr32 vbscript.dll

This also fixed some problems we were having with certain websites playing up in Internet Explorer.
