[QUOTE="thekitehunte, post: 986474, member: 27809"] In case anyone is struggling with this on Windows 8 x64, you need to put the wmp.dll in the windows\sysWOW64 folder, not the system32 folder. In x64, the system32 folder is for 64bit and WOW is for 32bit, really confusing, but that Windows. There is a regsrv32.exe in each of these folders, but the one in system32 is to register 64bit dlls and the one in sysWOW64 is to register 32bit dlls. So, after you have copied the file, at an elevated administrator prompt, navigate to the windows\sysWOW64 folder and type: regsvr32.exe wmp.dll It should say that the dll registered successfully and MP should then be working.
