Hi Brondon W.

Sounds like an ActiveX problem. What browser are you using?

What do you see when you go HERE?

only about 1 of these things were different and i dont have some of the otpions in my security tab. still the same outcome... no vids or music player. it all used to play then one day last week it just did this

[wannabe1]

See what happens if you do a System Restore to a date before you lost the ActiveX. Let me know if you get them back.

You're welcome!

ok so its works when i do the system restore But everytime windows updates automatically and it gos back to messing up why is this.. is the update screwed up?

[wannabe1]

In short, yes...Microsoft has released a ginky update. I think they have it patched now, and I'm still not sure what all it does...but it has had some rather dramatic effects on some machines...mostly HP's.

We'll have to see if this is the cause of your issues or not. Something to try for this for now:

Restore the System again and do the following.

Click Start, then Run, type prefetch, and click "Ok". In the "Prefetch" folder, click on "Edit" on the toolbar and choose "Select All". Right click on a file and choose "Delete". Reboot and see if the settings hold.
