Need computer help

Anytime there is a embedded video I cant watch it. If it is in a link that opens in a new window I can. Anyone know why and how I can correct it? I thought I had the problem fixed but I don't

[CADDOKILLER]

anyone?

Run it from a link and see if it opens in another browser window, or a media player app like iTunes, windows media player, etc.

Reply back when you can. Also report back what OS you are using what browser and browser version, and what kind of video (YouTube, quick time, wmv, flash etc).

[CADDOKILLER]

Yes it does open from a link. windows media player. windows 7 and internet explorer. youtube

Also I can hear the sound but can't see the video

A quicky that might work ... download a copy of VLC, it's free ...

And another thing... I can no open any attachments in emails. Everytime I try a little yellow and red star with a exclamation point in the middle pops up and nothing happens

Sounds like a possible codec issue, or an IE9 setting. Have you tried this from a different browser like Firefox?

Hers also a simple fix you might try and see if it's relevant for your setup and IE9.

Another thing you can do to help troubleshoot this is to create a new user account on the same computer and see if that user works fine. This let's you know if it's a system problem, or a user configuration issue.

I tried firefox and it does work with that. How do I change internet explorer setings?

Sounds like malware
Dl malware bytes and run it. It's free then you might try uninstalling all you video players and re installing them.
