“Your Computer Is Running Low on Memory” in WMP: Fix
2 April 2009 @ 4pm
Windows Media Player may erroneously deliver the message “Your computer is running low on memory. Quit other programs, and then try again” when attempting to play DVDs, stored movies or other media. This message can be the result of an unregistered Windows Media Player .dll instead of an actual scarcity of memory.
To fix this issue, follow these steps:
- Launch a commpand prompt in administrator mode. Navigate to Programs > Accessories > then right-click “Command Prompt” and select “Run as Administrator”
- Copy and paste the following command: for %a in (%systemroot%\system32\wm*.dll) do regsvr32 /s %a into the command prompt.
- Press enter and wait for the command to process.
After performing these steps, re-attempt usage of Windows Media Player.

Thanks for making the fix available – worked great!!!
Sorry, it didn’t work in Vista business?
Nope, didn’t work in Vista.
Unfortunately it did not work. This is the line which I c&p at the prompt and then hit enter. I’m using Vista 64 Untimate.
for %a in (%systemroot%\system32\wm*.dll) do regsvr32 /s %a
No luck with windows XP pro either. I’ve tried everything I’ve found including removing all instances of WMP in the registry, reinstalling, etc. Last resort is to restore my system which I dread the thought of doing!
Any other ideas? Thx, Dave P.
It worked!
