ironman14 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Hello.I have downloaded the Express edition of MS Visual Studio 2013, so I could create programs. In one of these programs that I plan to make, I wish to use the Windows Media Player control.I have the control in my toolbox, but when I try to insert it, I get this message:"Failed to open the ActiveX control. Make sure that it is properly registered." This is unusual, since Microsoft themselves are the developers of WMP, and this control is clearly registered. What should I do to fix this?

ironman14 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 This is strange. I installed the latest updates for Windows 8, and once I booted up my PC again, ActiveX controls worked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
