First thing to try if you're running Windows XP is to go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> and click System Restore. Choose a date for a restore point that is before you started having problems.
If that doesn't work, you can try repairing your system by inserting the Windows XP CD and running setup. Choose the repair option.
or
You can download the new Internet Explorer: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx
or

for my area i might in simple terms circulate with procuring a working laptop or computer. Getting roped right into a 2 year contract for even nonetheless lots money a month would not rather allure to me. in case you is in simple terms not doing lots with it previous making use of the internet and different casual initiatives, you will desire to easily %. up a computer for $3 hundred-4 hundred that would nonetheless be fairly good. That way in case you ever prefer an improve or to do some thing else with it down the line, you have flexibility. i might by no potential propose getting a working laptop or computer on hire, yet i'm in all likelihood biased because of the undeniable fact that i'm continually upgrading factors, and function thoroughly replaced each and everything in my gadget over the process the final year. yet rather, do you prefer to nonetheless be procuring a computer that would desire to ok be overpriced for the subsequent 2 years once you will desire to get a computer that met your suitable desires and funds and then be achieved with it without spending lots? in case you're actually not doing any photograph enhancing/gaming/movie making/rendering, then you definately rather do not would desire to spend lots on a computer. some hundred dollars will do the activity and nonetheless get you a fabulous gadget.

Intersting prob...but hopefully an easy fix. Do you know how to add and remove programs? What you need to do is repair Internet Explorer. Go to Start>Control Pannel>Add/Remove Programs. Your looking for Internet explorer. There should be two of them if you keep you system updated. The one you want is the Application itself, not the update. It will be obvious b/c the right one will have a "Repair" button when you click "Remove/Modify." Click that "Repair" button. It will take a few seconds and you will have to restart. This should fix it.

Hmmm -- a great host of videos play in windows media player. I would suggest you check ur windows media player and make sure that is functioning correctly. You can use "tools" to restore ur default settings- or if by some chance you find it gone!!?? You can go to the Microsoft website and download once again. Good Luck with this !!!!

First un-install the wahtever browser u're using. Go to add remove programs. Then get the exe file of the browser, run the setup again.
It'll work. I've faced few issues like these before as well.

Are you using internet explorer. You might want to download Mozilla Fire Fox. Has alot less issues and you will enjoy the net more and less repair trying to fix IE issues. Just a thought....
