Problems viewing webpages and watching videos online

[pete1412009]

Hi, I have recently started to have problems watching video online. I am using IE version 8. Scripting of Java applets are enabled in my internet security settings and I have also installed the latest version of the Adobe Flash player. I can watch youtube videos fine when I use the search function on the site, but when I go to a youtube user's profile and click on a video, I get an error message that says "Bad response from server". 

I am unable to watch videos on the BBC Sport website:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/front_page/7727391.stm

Also, the MSN homepage isn't showing up properly for me.  The “Video highlights from the past week” section just appears as a blank box, as does the section under “Advertising” and “ad space”.  I have attached a screenshot of my current view of the page.

Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated.

I would suggest reinstalling the Flash Player.

I would also try other browsers such as Firefox, see if you can watch videos there.

Hi, I tried reinstalling the flash player, but still no joy.  Videos do not work in Firefox either.

Try this to uninstall Flash: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Install fresh copy.

You surely have a lot of startups. I'm not sure, IF it's going to solve your issue, but we definitely have to cur them down.

Also...
Please, post some computer info:
- processor type, amount of RAM (hold Windows logo key, hit Pause/Break key)
- hard drive size/free space (open "My Computer", right click on hard drive letter, click "Properties")

Re-run Autoruns, click on "Logon" tab and UN-check following items:

+ "AppleSyncNotifier"
+ "ATICCC"
+ "btbb_McciTrayApp"
+ "btbb_wcm_McciTrayApp"
