I'm not familiar with a JScript32.dll file. Even if it's for IE7 only, there should be info on it, yet it doesn't appear in any search engines. Are you sure it's not script.dll or jscript.dll? What happens when you right click the HD > Search, then drag a shortcut from that to the Desktop or Start Menu? You say WMP won't play files, so what exactly happens when you try it? Does WMP open then there's some kind of error, or it won't open at all? -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://www.OrpheusComputing.com http://www.ComputersCustomBuilt.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Kaulback" I am looking at a friends pc with XP Pro SP2 installed and all latest patches applied. The Users applet in the control panel and the Search applet in the Start menu are both blank due to a missing entry in the registry for JScript. I've tried regsrv32 on JScript32.dll which didn't work, likewise all restore points are after this event. There is also a problem with WMP not being able to play WM files, which I think might be related to the first issue. The repair console didn't work, msconfig did not help, and I don't want to reinstall because nothing is backed up on a nearly full 320 gb drive. Unless there is no other way ;) Peter Kaulback ========================= The list's FAQ's can be seen by sending an email to PCWorks-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with FAQ in the subject line.
