IE6 closes when clicking on a media link

[Shay themcgraws]

While I am online (using a cable connection), whenever I
click a media link containing video or audio, IE6 will
attempt to open a media window and then instantly close
the browser with no error messages or anything. However,
this does not happen using different user accounts on the
same system... only mine . Is there something, perhaps
in my settings or another known problem, causing this?
PLEASE OFFER WHATEVER HELP POSSIBLE... I am not able to
find an answer in the knowledge base or elsewhere.
Thanks much- SHAY

Shay,
The first thing to do is to scan your system for the possibility of
unknown\unwanted spyware or parasites that may be causing your problem(s).
