Method 1
Try uninstalling and re-installing Windows Media Player:-Click Start, and then click Control Panel.-Under Programs, click Uninstall a program.-In the tasks pane, click Turn Windows features on or off.-In the list of windows features, clear the check box next to Windows Media Player.-You receive a warning message in a pop-up window. Click Yes.-Restart the computer.-Once again go to Turn Windows features on or off.-In the list of windows features, put a check mark next to Windows Media Player.-You receive a warning message in a pop-up window. Click Yes.-Restart the computer again.

Metod 2
In Your IE9 open manage addons click on currently loaded addons and change it to all addons and disable the addon of windows media play

Method 3

enable “Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe for scripting” in IE’s security settings, the find album info window should works fin

Method 4
Go into IE Security and add the url
(http://fai.music.metaservices.microsoft.com)
to the trusted sites zone. Then enable the “Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe for scripting” just for Trusted Sites.Then if you surf on the net deactivate the setting.

I’ve tried all 4 methods, and nothing is working for me. This is getting so frustrating.

The question was asked again here, maybe someone will be able to answer it.

Tried the method referred to.
All went well until I tried to run regsvr32 jscript.dll.
Got an error message
“The module “jscript.dll was loaded but the call to
DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0×0004005″.

Fixed it.
Ran Norton Registry and File Cleanup and the problem went away.
Must have been a combination of reinstalling media player and Norton, since I ran Norton earlier and it didn’t fix the problem.

I use Opera browser, and I “deleted private data”, as well as running CCleaner and there is no longer a “script error”.
