dll problems

[Guest]

Hi all

I have a problem which is proving troublesome.
We run windows XP on our home computer. There are 2 accounts (mine and my
wife's). All of a sudden I cant run windows media player in my account
(getting an internal application error) and it works fine in my wifes account
( we both have admin rights). There are various other applications that are
throwing up errors too.

Having searched the M-soft pages and found some advice on restoring
damaged/corupted dlls which seemed to cover all my symptoms (831430).
I ran "regsvr32 jscript.dll" which succeeded in my wife's account but
running "regsvr32 vbscript.dll" failed (return code was 0X80004005). Now the
strange thing is, the reverse happens in my account "regsvr32 vbscript.dll"
is successful and the other fails with the same code.

Can anyone explain what is going on and what I might do to fix this problem?

have you tried (with the administers account) to go into
the device manager to see if any of the programs have a yellow !
by them?
most of the time you can just remove what is there and the computer
will pick them back up when you reboot.

I think (see above) it may be that you cannot open the registry key for your
"User" properly in regards to what regsvr is trying to do. Somehow the
jscript dll belongs to your wife whilst you, it seems, have stolen the
vbscript.dll. (I think I got that the right way round but you get the idea).

Wait and see what others suggest but it may be that somehow permissions to
these files themselves have got altered - maybe as a result of updates
installed at different times by different users, or that the registry key
permissions have suffered (I am thinking here that when an update takes
place the registry permissions and file permissions may have been set
together as it were) but messing with permissions in the system folders or
registry is dangerous and therefore I would get at the very least a second
opinion.

Besides which I could be completely off the tracks here

I'm not sure if this will fix your problem or not (but it won't hurt it).
I would run this in both your accounts.
