Windows Media Player troubles
It won't start
Friday, September 9, 2005 by Monte Cristo | Discussion: Windows Software
For some reason unknow to me, Windows Media Player won't start up on my computer. It just gives me this message: "An internal application error has occured". I tried uninstalling it and then reinstalling, updating, and all that jazz. Nothing works. It just started doing this for no good reason. I was even using WMP a couple of days ago. I'm running Windows XP SP2 with Windows Media Player 10. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It is very helpful, thank you. I actually did figure this out, but not through windows media player support. My Norton was acting up, so I went looking around on their help sites, and found that answer. I don't know how, but those scripts got deleted or corrupted or something. Thanks for the info. Appreciate it!

hm.. seems lots of places say stuff about Norton having problems/causing problems with other apps.... maybe they should look into fixing these problems 
(i use Mcafee - well currently the microsoft One Care - but, generally i use mcafee and have never had problems) glad you got it fixed

Download the file > double-click to install.
If you want to try to manually re-register the jscript and vbscript first, instead of going directly to installing the Windows Script, you can do the following:
Click Start > select Run > type: regsvr32 jscript.dll > hit Enter > type: regsvr32 vbscript.dll > hit Enter > reboot the computer > test Windows Media Player 10
If this fails, download and install the Windows Script file.
I hope this helps.
