Cannot download files/ watch streaming media

[Guest]

Hello! I suddenly was shut down from IE, while trying watch web-tv/ listen to
web- radio. After that its impossible to download any files or watch/ listen
to streaming media. When i open a certain type of video- link, the Media
Player opens, but fails to show the video file, web help gives this
explanation:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/wi...&id=C00D11B1&contextid=74&originalid=8007007B

reffering to a faulty media player/ audio error. But that is not correct,
since all my media files on my hard drive are working fine. Is there a
windows error or internet explorer/ media player error?

Any help or explanasions would be very much appriciated! I have Windows XP
SP2, IE 7.0, Windows Media Player 11, updates did not solve the problem.
Can I unistall the IE and Media player, reinstall and hope for a better
performance, or are they woven into windows, unable to unistall? Should I
re- format the entire hard drive?

I will loopback to Windows media player 10 and see if that help if not try
