For the last few days I've had issues with Windows Media Player. I googled to see how to fix it, and none of the solutions I found on Microsoft's website or on the net helped. I decided to system restore it to fix the problem only to find out that my system restore wouldn't open either. I ran my anti-virus program(Norton)and Spybot several times and nothing comes up. I've done every regsvr 32, sfc/scannow, systemroot, safe mode thing I've seen on the net and nothing. The search on Windows Explorer doesn't work either. I thinking of reformatting but before I do that does anybody have any suggestions on what I should do?

Appears that people have to do alot of guessing.

Sorry if I didn't make myself clear in my first post.
Basically the issue I'm having is that WMP and System Restore won't open. When I try to open them I get nothing...not even an error message. I tried re-installing both and still have the same problems. Ran different commands and nothing.
As for the search in Windows Explorer this is what I get when I open it. http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/64...
Hope I made myself clearer this time.

I may be showing my stupidity here but I'm having a problem with step 5 and 6.
My copy of XP came pre-installed, I did find the I386 folder on my computer but I did not see the .cab file for jscript.dll.
Where is this file and where and where do I extract it to?

PolloLoco, First go into Folder Options>View tab and select "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files etc.", click Apply/OK. Now click Start>Search>all files and folders and type in:
jscript.dll
click the Search button.
Post back with the result as to the location(s) of the jscript.dll file(s).
Edited to add: Did you do this and if you did what happened?
Method 1: Reregister Jscript.dll
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type regsvr32 jscript.dll, and then click OK.
Click OKTufenuf

DllRegisterServer in jscript.dll failed.
Return code was:0x80004005Is what I get when I type regsvr32 jscript.dll.
Tried getting into the Folder Options but that doesn't open either.

PolloLoco, If you can get into Windows Explorer (NOT Internet Explorer) open your C:\Wndows\System32 folder amd see if a copy of Jscript.dll exists. That's where it belongs. Since you also can't get into folder options something is really messed up.
Edited to add:
You could try the Remove Restrictions Tool (RRT) which is free at the link below for the Folder Options problem.http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives...

Well I spoke to soon.
Tufenuf I used the first link you provided and after figuring out step 5 and 6 I was able to get it working again, but when I turned on my computer today it went back to the same problems.
I tried doing Method 2 but steps 5-8 I can't perform as the registry keys are not there.

After turning it on it worked again but it has the same problems on the other user accounts on my computer.
How do I fix this for the other accounts?
BTW Tufenuf I was able to do a search and this is where all the jscript.dll are located.
