dddave Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 After a minor crash, am in process of reinstalling/reinitiating programs on my Windows 98 SE Gateway Solo 2500 Notebook, with 64 MB RAM. When trying to launch Windows Media Player, get the error message: An internal application error has occurred. Microsoft prompts me (831430) to reregister jscript.dll and vbscript.dll. If either if these files do not register as expected, I am to extract the missing or damaged system file in Microsoft Windows XP. At this point, Microsoft offers no more help to 98 SE users, as they no longer support the OS. Assistance at this point would be helpful.Thanks,David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eidenk Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 (edited) Installing the DirectX Media 6.0 Runtime often sorted me out when I had various multimedia playback problems. This package can be found bundled with (old?) trial versions of Premiere or Ulead multimedia products and is a must have. It won't overwrite any newer files but will rewrite all the correct DirectShow registry entries. It is the only package I know who does this.As well, sometimes some software install a version of Quartz.dll that is not compatible with 9x and prevents proper multimedia playback. As the file is usually newer than in any packages MDGx quotes, it doesn't get overwritten when installing them and the problem remains (even reinstalling the OS on top of itself does not help I think as is the case when the Ole automation runtimes are overwritten on 9x with a 3.50.xxxx version which is only XP compatible). The solution is to extract the original Quartz.dll it from the OS cabs and reinstall whatever package afterwards.

MDGx Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 (edited) DirectX Media 6 and all available updates:http://www.mdgx.com/dx.htm#DXMQUARTZ.DLL build 6.05.01.0902 is the last version [i'm aware of] that works properly with Windows 98/98SE/ME, and installs as part of DirectX 9.0c:http://www.mdgx.com/dx.htm#DX9All newer QUARTZ.DLL versions [i'm aware of] are NOT compatible with 98/98SE/ME, they are only for 2000/XP/2003/Longhorn.So in order to restore newest QUARTZ.DLL after poorly written programs overwrite it with incompatible versions, you need to (re)install DX 9.0c.The newest QUARTZ.DLL [6.05.01.0902] is necessary because it fixes several security flaws.Hope this helps.
