Hi, 305boy. Welcome to Geeks to Go!

1. Please confirm the operating system, including service packs. If XP, home or pro?

2. Which version of Windows Media Player? If not WMP, which player are you having trouble with?

3. Has it ever worked properly? If so, what might have happened between then and now?

4. What Antivirus do you have installed?

3. Has it ever worked properly? If so, what might have happened between then and now? yes, i changed my antivirus program about a week ago

4. What Antivirus do you have installed? avast antivirus

I don't have Avast, but it is very possible it is blocking the video for some reason. Check all the settings carefully.

You neglected to answer my previous questions fully. Is your Windows XP Home or Professional? And what version of Media Player do you have?

Please explain exactly what kinds or types of video you're having issues with, i.e. online, downloaded, saved locally.

I will not be able to assist you with Limeware in any way. We here at GeeksToGo will not assist you with issues relating to P2P file sharing programs. While many of these programs are-in-and-of themselves legal, most things acquired by their use are not. Instead of attempting to differentiate between the legal use of P2P programs and the illegal use thereof, we have decided to stop helping with issues regarding this software. It is also in your best interest to know that many P2P software packages come bundled with spyware/malware/virii and that their use greatly increases the chances of your computer becoming infected. I strongly suggest that you uninstall these programs and refrain from using them at all costs.

I really want to help you, 305boy. But if you won't answer the questions, I can't do anything.

[305boy]

i have windows xp home edition and i am running windows media player

sorry for the inconvenience i am not very computer smart.

[305boy]

and i am having problems internet video and media such as youtube.com and imeem.com

[piper]

Thanks for the info. Those are all online videos. I would think Avast is blocking them, if the problem started after you installed Avast. If you need specific help checking or adjusting the settings in Avast, be sure to say so. I'll have to get help with it, since I don't use it.

Let's confirm that you have Java installed. Click Start, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs. Look for something called Java or J2SE Runtime.

Now, double check that Java is enabled in Internet Explorer. In Internet Explorer, click Tools menu, Internet Options, Advanced. Scroll down to Java. Is that abox checked? If not, check it, reboot and try again to view a video.

If you don't use Internet Explorer, please state which browser you use.

Please be sure to provide the full error text for any errors that pop up on screen while trying to view a video.

Additionally, let's check the Event Viewer for other errors that may be happening. To get to the Event Viewer, click Start, Control Panel, Administrative Services, Event Viewer. On the left side of the screen are three categories: Application, Security, and System. Check under Application and System for any events that are listed as Warnings or Errors, that also have a date and time that correspond to the error. Once you have an event open, you can click the "copy to clipboard" icon (just below the down arrow) to copy the error text, then you can paste it in a reply to this thread.

here you are hopefully i have done everthing asked and this information can help you to further help me.

[piper]

Hi 305boy. Somehow I missed your reply and I apologize. I will start looking at the events in detail and get back to you as quickly as possible.

What's going on with Sunbelt CounterSpy?

Did all those events you posted correspond (date & time) to a failed attempt at viewing an online video?

[305boy]

i uninstalled avast and switched to ashampoo antivirus and antispyware. I am not sure if those errors were for online video or downloaded video.I can watch an inserted dvd but not any online video or any downloaded video.

[piper]

Please confirm that the events you provided occurred at the same general time as the failed attempts to view online videos. Also, please provide any errors that pop-up on screen when you attempt to view an online video. If there aren't any, please say so.

I have some additional questions for you.

1. Do you have multiple user accounts on this computer?

2. What's going on with CounterSpy? Is it installed? If so, disable it.

3. What version of Internet Explorer do you have installed?

4. When you're on youtube's site and click the play button to view a video, exactly what happens? Please give very specific details of what you do to try to view an online video. Are you trying to download the file first?

Let's try running System File Checker (SFC). It can fix certain issues in Windows where specific system files get corrupted, deleted, or infected. Basically the System File Protection watches the system files and checks their integrity against it's knowledge of what these files are supposed to look like. Generally if a system file get's "messed with" windows will let you know and give you the option to dissallow the change, sometimes you don't get this option though. The System File Checker is a command line utility that will initiate a scan of all the system files to make sure they are in their original state, present on the system, and or working properly. It's an easy tool to use but the user HAS to have an XP disk for it to work.

Do you have a valid XP cd?

If so, place it in your CD ROM drive and follow the instructions below

Start > Run > cmd then type

sfc /scannow (note the space)

Allow this to run until you get a message saying it is complete.

SFC - system file checker, retrieves the correct version of the file from %Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache or the Windows installation source files, and then replaces the incorrect file.

If you want to see what was replaced, right click My Computer > manage, expand event viewer > system.

[305boy]

when i view a video a message appears where the video should be placed and it says '' you either have javascript turned off or are running an old version ''

1.there is only one user account on this computer

2.I have uninstalled it and deleted it but it still is reamaining when i go to add and remove programs also when i try to uninstall formadd and remove programs it staes that

3.I have internet explorer 7

4. when i go online to youtube.com i click on the video i want to watch but when the page loads up the video does not appear instead i recieve the error stated above.no i am not trying to download the file first, i have videos downloaded to my computer for months now and i am not being allowed to view any of them.

no i do not have an xp cd

[piper]

Again.... please tell me if the Error and Warning events you provided correspond to failed video viewing attempts (I am repeating myself from posts #11 and #13).

Did you install IE7 or did it come pre-installed on your computer?

If you installed it, were you able to view the online videos before you installed IE7?
