Corrupting of Media Files

[sal]

I downloaded an audio file using Ares about two weeks ago.  When I played the file, it was corrupted and didn't play properly.  I deleted it immediately.  Since then, I have been having trouble playing video's from youtube.com and also playing my other media files.  They still play however, sometimes without sound or the vocals appear to be in the background, etc.  On youtube, it asks me to download AdobeFlash version 7.  It was working yesterday, however, the sound was very faint.  I downloaded a recent version of AdobeFlash hoping this would solve the problem but obviously hasn't.  I have run a virus scan and also malware software to no avail.  Don't know what to do.  I have Windows XP, with 512 ram Pent 4.

Thanks for any help

Uninstall Adobe Flash, using this: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
Install fresh copy.
