Hi

ive had a prob with wmp11 not closing after clicking "x", so had a look around the ms forums and found (hopefully) a fix but not sure what to do with it.

can anyone understand the above and break this down into steps for me?

cheers
 
Right click wmp11 and click "run as administrator".

start > run >
Copy & Paste The Following
regsvr32 "%programfiles%\Windows Media Player\wmpband.dll"
Press Enter.

start > run >
Copy & Paste The Following
regsvr32 "%windir%\system32\wmp.dll"
Press Enter.

Reopen wmp11. Check to see if the problem has gone by closing it.

What your doing is just re-registering some files that could potentially have a problem.

thanks for the help

i tried the above but got a message saying the module was loaded but the call to dllregistryserver failed with error 0x8002801c

happened for both, anyway i appreciate the effort

cheers
 
It is likely that permissions on part of the registry have been changed to deny you access. You will need to be a local administrator to register the COM object.

The error value ‘0x8002801c’ means ‘Error accessing the OLE registry’.

Are you logged in as Administrator?
 
Then your not logged in as admin by default.

Right click wmp11 and click "run as administrator". Try registering the files again from step 1.
 
doesn't look like you're registering the files as administrator. goto start, programs, accessories, right click "command prompt" and select "run as administrator". now try copy/pasting those 2 commands into the command prompt window. :)
