Whenever I try to use WMP it simply won't open. I'm using Vista with WMP 11..
it will work with internet streaming/playing but not my PC files.. any help?
thanx.

What happens if you right-click on a Media Player shortcut, choose Open File
Location, and double-click on wmplayer.exe?

If nothing happens, open Task Manager (right-click your Taskbar) and see if
wmplayer.exe is running, on the Processes tab. If it is, right-click
wmplayer.exe, and choose End Process. Then try to open Media Player again.

Hi dean,

I'm having the same problem however your solution did not work. I don't even
have the luxury of double-clicking on wmplayer.exe. Unlike me, my player
doesn't work at all. Anyone please help! I miss Urge and my music. Thanks.

When you say you don't have the luxury of clicking on wmplayer.exe, are you
saying that it's not in C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player? Or, on the
other hand, if the file is there, and you double-click on it, are you saying
it's not showing up on the Processes tab of Task Manager?

What had you done or installed or uninstalled to get to the point where
JScript wasn't registered properly? I've heard of this issue from other
users before, but it's been unclear how anyone would ever possibly get into
this state other than bad "registry cleaners" or some sort of registry
corruption. =\

Thanks for posting up the tip! =)
