Why does the player show up as a random bunch of controls and then black space in web pages?
If and only if this page fails (and looks screwed up), but this one works, then what has happened is that the backwards compatibility for WMP6 is failing. In order to fix this, run the following commands from either the “Run” prompt or a cmd.exe window: ” regsvr32 jscript.dll “, ” regsvr32 wmpdxm.dll “, ” regsvr32 wmpasf.dll “, ” regsvr32 wmp.dll “, and then you should be fixed. If that does not work, you should be able to fix this by simply running “regsvr32.exe wmp.dll”. If not and you’re not on Vista, running “regsvr32.exe msdxm.ocx” should fix this by restoring the WMP6-flavor of embedding. (Run “regsvr32.exe wmpdxm.dll” to undo that.
