Hello...I have uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Media Player as in this reply and still didn't work. I opened start, typed in cmd and did the rest of the directions there. The first and third files were fine. For the second one I got this message: JScript.dll failed to load. Make sure binary is stored at specific path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files. Specified module couldn't be found. Now I just don't know what do do with this to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you....Sheryl

Hello Knicole0728,

Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forum!

Step 1:

Let’s try to run windows media player troubleshooter and check what is causing the problem. To do so, please follow the steps below:

Open the Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter by clicking the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooter, and then click Troubleshooting. Click View all, and then click Windows Media Player Settings.

If the issue persists, Try to re register the dll files for windows media player and check if it helps in fixing your issue. To do so, please follow the steps below:

Click Start, type cmd in the Start Search box, right-click cmd.exe, and then click Run as administrator. At the command prompt, type the following commands, and press ENTER after each command:

regsvr32 vbscript.dll

regsvr32 jscript.dll

regsvr32 wmp.dll

Step 2:

I would also suggest you to uninstall and reinstall windows media player from "Turn Windows features On or Off" and check if it works. To do so, please follow the steps below:

To turn Windows features on or off, follow these steps:

1. Click the Start button, click Control Panel, click Programs, and then click Turn Windows features on or off. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

2. From the list of windows features, expand the Media Feature and uncheck the box next to windows media player and restart the computer.

Once you restart the computer, try to reinstall windows media player from the same steps given above and check the box next to Windows media player and restart the computer.

For more information, please refer the link mentioned below:
