WMP 10 embedded videos wont play |
|
|
Iv had this problem for a long and im finally just sick of it,
In sites such as ebaumsworlds, where there are videos embedded right one the
page, my media player doesnt work, it doesnt even look like its trying, it is
odd, its looks like half the size the box should be and the controls (play
pause ect) are all on the top when i believe they are supposed to be on the
bottom, and the rest is black. I got mozilla and now every time i go to one
of these sites, when i leave it says "Windows Media Player Plug-in Dynamic
Link Library, The plugin performed an illegal operation. You are strongly
advised to restart Navigator"
I have been looking everywhere for a solution and have made absolutely no
ground, ANY help is GREATLY appreciated

OK we got a possible resolution from ZachD : The suggestion is the
player install is partially broken. His suggested fix runs like this
Search c:\windows\system32 and see if there's a file named `msdxm.ocx`
The file will be held as a reliable copy in the system DLL cache, so
you can overwrite the damaged file with a fresh copy.
If it's missing, you'll need to open an MSDOS window ("Command
prompt") so you can type in the following commands as written :
regsvr32 msdxm.ocx
regsvr32 wmp.dll
regsvr32 wmpdxm.dll
Press <enter> after each line, you shouldn't see any error message
(though you may get notification the registration 'succeeded'). Now
restart - probably IE - and see if the page looks correct following
this process.
It may potentially fix the problem with Mozilla if it's a related
problem, though I'd re-register the plugin with Mozilla to be sure.

Then I'd reinstall the player from a fresh download, it sounds like
something has hosed your protected files. Did you do a virus scan
recently ?

Well, two parts here:
A) No, you would not have to uninstall first.
B) But a reinstall wouldn't actually help you, since the current player
packages do not include this file. Does msdxm.ocx exist anywhere else on
your system?
