I know SatelliteTV can unregister wmp.dll according to
http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=720959
I don't think that would be related to your problems though, it tends
to cause crashes instead. What version of media player do you have,
since you can load it but not play videos ?

something from a download site like Limewire / Bittorrent, or...
If you've got access to a friends PC, do the videos play there ?
If this is online video on a web page, what specific page address ?

Content that can play within a website, the small wmp will work, but no
content that loads to full player will show video. Also, I tried to play The
Incredibles through the DVD player on WMP and got the same result.

They actually ship their "own" copy of WMP.dll v10 and register it in a
different path. It's not unregistered - they've just done a horrific
end-run that of course breaks the v11 experience quite "nicely". =\

Speaking for myself only.
See http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.

In what path -should- wmp.dll be? I have successfully re-installed
WMP11, but it will not start (at all...though icons for wav's etc. have
changed t WMP11 icons). regsvr32 wmp.dll gives the error listed in the
title of the subject. What is the fix? Thanks again in advance for all
help...

What operating system are you using ?
The error code above is usually an "ODBC" (database) error code so
it's worth initially checking your MDAC installation is up to date (on
XP) MDAC 2.8 SP1 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/aa937730.aspx
If that doesn't get you any change after a reboot, see if ZachD's
instructions on deleting and rebuilding the media library database
helps : http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#medialibrary

Hi Neil,
It is XP SP2. Just confirming that I will install MDAC you listed.
Please just let me know before I do it. I will set a system restore
point anyway. Thanks for your help...will keep you up-to-date.

MDAC_TYP.exe will not install since the setup is not supported on XP (I
have SP2 anyway). I will try to follow up with the library stuff.
Thanks.

Hi again,
None of the library suggestions did anything, unfortunately. Mind you,
I had nothing in the cache or the library. I have not yet been able to
open a WMP11 window. It opens in the Task Manager for about 15 seconds
(ramping up RAM), and then it shuts itself down. FWIW, wmpnscfg.exe is
running. While I do not know what program that is exactly, at least it
is related to wmp, right? Thanks again for further suggestions (besides
re-imaging!). Also, WMPlayer.OCX seems to be missing again.
I saw the regkeys of a successfully installed WMP11. I should not
merely copy the values of those keys and subkeys into my registry,
right?
Thanks again.
Daniel
