Whenever I try to view a video on the Internet it always freezes and has this Error Message and I have to End the Program, any ideas on how to fix this?

1. Update to latest version of browser.
2. Update to latest version of your media player (WMP 10, Quicktime, Etc.)
3. Check for Adware/Spyware and especially Viruses.

Do those three and see if it still happens.

what type of videos exactly? i mean file extension? like .wmv, .avi etc.. you may want to update codecs. I havent heard of a problem like this though.. I had one problem downloading a bootleg version of a movie, and it must of had something bad in it, cuz the folder it was in became corrupted.

also, what os u using?

It's never happened before, but here is the exact message:

Error Signature:

szAppName : iexplore.exe szAppVer : 6.0.2900.2180 szModName : hungapp
szModVer : 0.0.0.0 offset : 00000000

There is an error with this program, would you like to send an error report to Windows?

Ok here is what I recommend.

Get rid of IE 6, and switch to Mozilla FireFox. Seriously it is the most versatile, fast, and safe web browser to date. It has customizable themes, extensions, etc. Very, very acclaimed program.

You could go to windowsupdates.microsoft.com and check for the lastest IE 6 updates.

If you want to try Mozilla, check here:

FireFox 1.5 is the newest version

Thanks for the help, I got FireFox 1.5 and I got the Black Japan theme up too thanks to Thief121212.

I love skinning FireFox, such a smooth interface

And your welcome, anytime.

Well iexporer.exe is internet explorer... Perhaps you needed to enable active X on the site or something, or download a special plugin. But you got firefox which is even better

I got firefox 1.5 but now it says there is an illegal plug-in and needs to shut down.

TecHnikal · **Posted:** January 15th, 2006, 7:47 pm

Illegal plug-in? Hmm it could be a type of virus, run a virus check and spyware scan.

I did that and nothing came up and the stuff that I did delete didn't do much.

what file extension is on the video your trying to view? Also what operating system are you running? (ie. win xp) Also what is the address to the site the video is on?

NO!

I am feeling argumentative so im going to argue.

Fast: no. Opera is faster. I have used firefox and IE and Opera, and Opera is fastest.
Safe: Opera is more secure.
Customizable themes: so does opera, and more of them.
Extensions: All the extensions you can get for firefox that arent completely useless are standard features in opera. Like for example minimise to tray, which is very useful, which is standard in opera. Most firefox extensions are pointless crap, like "lets see what the weather is doing right now where you live" LOOK OUT THE F*CKING WINDOW!

Get Opera. It p\/\/n5 y00 p|-|1rf0>< n00b5!

Firefox is overpraised. Opera rules all.

get opera: http://www.opera.com

But yeah what everyone else has been saying is basically correct, make sure you're installing the Windows Automatic Updates, make sure you've got the latest version of whatever kind of player it is (Flash, Java, WMP, Quicktime etc) and do a spyware and virus scan.
