I have a problem:

When i paste: regsvr32 “%ProgramFiles%\Windows Media Player\wmpband.dll” in cmd and press enter a pop up box appears and says: The module ""C:/Program" failed to load.

Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files.

The specified module could not be found.

What could be the problem mate?

Thank you, but can you show me how to remove it??

Such file does not exist or it has been removed for infringement of copyrights. F*CK

[bumbumurmum]

the link no longer works for the 64 and 86 bit files HELP!

[MituTran]

Really helpful

[zhiro90]

@MrJamz74 instead using the one provided, try this one:

regsvr32 "c:\program files\windows media player\wmpband.dll"

As you may notice, there is no Caps letters in it and the signs for "" are different than the ones presented in the tutorial above.

[TrickshottedInHD]

[supervascular]

Did the above, now have the mini player back, however when I open a file I get sound but no video, just a black box??

This is not a good method it only works on half the mahicnes I've done it on, theres a windows media player 12 install out there that has the feature but i cant find it again anymore.. The method shown above for example did not work on my home PC, I select the Windows Media Player Toolbar and when I minimize WMP12 it does nothing at all.
