Hi potato, please try this:

1. As Administrator, open up a command prompt window. For the uninitiated, click "Start", type cmd.exe in the "Start Search" box. When the cmd.exe file appears in the Programs list, RIGHT click it and select "Run as administrator".

2. In the command prompt window that appears, type the following three lines.

regsvr32 jscript.dll
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
regsvr32 wmp.dll

3. Restart your computer.

Hi

I did what you suggested, but it said that it didn't recognize those files and i did restart my computer.
