This problem is not necessarily due to Internet Explorer itself. It would be rather one of its plug-in - these small programs are added to the browser and allow it to read certain files - that would be involved. In this case, if your problem occurred a few days ago, it is probably linked to the recent installation of software such as QuickTime or RealPlayer. So uninstall the software and try to play a video.
You will inevitably lead to reinstall the plug-in: do it while keeping the default options, and then check that everything was in order. If this is not the case, one of the following two options should eventually remedy your problem.
Solution 1: Find and disable the plug-in defective
Step 1
Open Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu and then Internet Options. Select the Advanced tab and uncheck Enable third party browser extensions (requires restart). Click the OK button, close and restart Internet Explorer and try to again play a video. If the problem persists, proceed to solution 2.
Otherwise, and puisqu'Internet Explorer no longer crashes, so that the wrongdoer is a plug-in.
To identify the culprit, start reactivating the plug-in by doing the above but in the case recochant Enable third party browser extensions (requires restart).
Step 2
Then click Tools and then click Manage Add-ons. Click the View drop-down list and select the modules that have been used by Internet Explorer. Among the plug-in viewing, look for those whose filename or module covers a audio and / or video. These include: Windows Media Player, QuickTime, RealPlayer ... Select one and click Disable.
Restart Internet Explorer and try to display the video problem.
Step 3
If everything works, you have found the module at fault. You can then choose to disable or to reinstall it.
