Why isn the taskbar player functional?
The Windows Media Player toolbar in some cases may not show up or the buttons may not be responsive. If you have rebooted and this problem persists, run “regsvr32.exe “c:\program files\windows media player\wmpband.dll”” and “regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\wmp.dll”. Then restart your system, and the deskband player should now work.
