Can someone help?

I have been having troubles with websites that I want to watch a video on or go into a chat room.
Everytime I click on a video or chat link the window will appear for a breif second then dissappear.
I cannot watch anything or chat due to this. It's never done that before but it has been doing it no matter what site I go to.
For example:
On bonjovi.com there is a video section. everything works until I click the play button. The box that pops up asks to choose the media player to view on and then before I can click, it dissapears.
The vids are important to me and the chats are my daughters gig so you can imagine we are totally stuck.
Does anyone know what might be wrong?

Hmmmm....I just looked an had no problems. By any chance do you have Norton Internet Security running?

An IE Repair may help:

No, Just the antivirus.
I have ad-aware.
zone alarm
bho demon
spy guard
win patrol.
It's not getting any better and it's driving me nuts.
Can you hack into my cpu and look? Please?
I feel I may have to re-format.
I'm totally lost. My wife has no clue, my daughters have no clue.

Which media player should be running?

it sounds like you have a default media playerselected and that is taking over from you,and it dosnt play the media files you are trying to play.try downloading windows media player 9 and setting it to your default player then try bonjovi.hope that helps.
