Yes, it is all my fault.
At least the helpers here know how to hide their email address and set their country in their PROFILE.

@YoKenny
I guess that makes a big difference when it comes to helping.
Anyway thanks.

@DavidR
"why bother to post"
Apparently too much time to waste.
Now ask the same to all the other guys.

It wasn't specifically directed at you or I would have quoted your post, etc.

It was a general comment that with the number of people reporting this and the offer to have one of the developers remotely connect to their computer to try and determine the cause, that 'no one' has come forward.

BTW in order to do the remote control session you don't have to reconfigure any firewalls etc. It's very simple actually.
But of course, we don't want to push anyone into doing something he doesn't want to do.

Thanks
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving's not for you.

I would think that the problem is caused by some of WMP's default settings being changed by something at some point. I don't think Avast! is the culprit there because if it was , everybody with WMP11 on XP would have the problem and only a minority do. The Fixit tool most likely restores all of the default WMP settings and/or scripts. They may have been changed by updates from Microsoft (but again, you'd think everybody would have the problem is that was the cause) or by other things but obviously something was altered in the scripting somewhere along the line and the change doesn't mesh with Avast's Script shield.

I agree that somebody should step up and allow the dev's access to try to find and eliminate the problem.

Sorry, I haven't been here in a while (been a busy week) and just noticed that Avast would like to remotely access a computer to diagnose this problem.

I'm game.  Just have to wait until I get home to turn the thing on first.  I think it'll be pretty late at night for you guys though...

Just uninstal script shield from control panel, add remove programs. Avast until it's fixed.  This removes the windows media player colour problem.

What does that mean in English? I can only decipher Start-> Run  then it gets confusing. Do you mean copy and paste regsvr32 jscript.dll   and then press OK?

Aren't these scripts dangerous for the computer ?

I am not a computer specialist, so I don't know anything about scripts.
