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! - K-Star |
