Default Can't Use regsrc32 in XP, Even As Administrator

Hello. I'm having problems using DllRegisterServer in Windows XP Home
Edition SP2. I've searched for a solution to this for quite some time
and can't seem to find any information on it.

I've been trying to register "vbscript.dll" and "jscript.dll" in order
to attempt to make Windows Media Player work again (I get an internal
configuration error). Whenever I try to use regsrv32 to register
those two DLLs in an Administrator account (even in Safe Mode), I get
the same message one would get as a non-admin:
---------------------------
RegSvr32
---------------------------
DllRegisterServer in jscript.dll failed.
Return code was: 0x80004005
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

It seems that Windows XP is confused as to who has administrator
privileges and who doesn't. I can't even uninstall certain programs
like RealPlayer as an admin. As you can imagine, being unable to fix
your own computer is a bit frustrating. Seems like I'm running out of
solutions, and I'm really trying to avoid reinstalling the whole
operating system over again because this just isn't a good time for me
to do that.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
