IE6 crash & error report when viewing pages with video

[magicorp]

Hi

As of Monday this week, each time I attempt to view a page with video,
IE6 crashes and returns the error message -

"Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We
are sorry for the inconvenience."

etc, etc. Send or don't send blah blah blah

The pages in question are on www.break.com, on the videos page
obviously. I have however been able to view Quicktime videos on the
Native Instruments website - www.native-instruments.com

I have tried updating Norton, AdAware, Spybot, CWShredder, my video
card drivers, everything!!! I have also run AdAware, Spybot, Norton
2005 and deleted all temporary internet files while in safe mode to no
avail. I read a similar thread here about creating a new user account
with admin priveleges and using it to delete all temp internet files as
"TIF" can't be deleted when current user is logged on (or words to that
effect). This didn't work either.

Anyone got any ideas???

It can't be a spyware thing i have used AdAware & Spybot about 5 times
in the last 2 days.

Please help!!

The videos on the troublesome page you mention seem to be .wmv file types
and play in an embedded WMP. Try reinstalling/updating Windows Media
Player.
