I havent added or changed any settings related to my sound/video.
Is there a way i could completely uninstall IE so i could do a fresh setup? I havent found IE in Control Panel >> Add/Remove Programs.

EDIT

I have a feeling it has to do with my Windows Media Player (WMP). I go to the WMP and similar websites for music samples, and get errors when trying to play streaming audio/video. I've updated to the newest WMP 10 player and yet i still get the problem.
Any suggestions?

I tried playing the streaming files with Winamp and Sonique. It plays fine. But it wont act as a default player to play streaming files that are embedded in websites. I tried playing the same streaming audio with WMP and i get the same error i get when trying to view embedded audio/video websites.

I see what you mean

Have you tried viewing the sites through a browser other than IE ?

Also, have you tried updating your sound card drivers?

Checked for updates on my video and sound drivers. All up to date and still having the problem. Is there a way i could get IE to use a different program to play embedded audio/video?

Reformatting is my LAST resort. But if i have to i will in order to get rid of this annoyance.

what exact error message do you get when trying to play these streaming files?

Hmm.. The only option are
HTML Editor
E-mail
Newsgroups
Internet call
Calendar
Contact list
None of them are set to WMP
Where can i take a look at the error so i could post it here on the forum?

You missed a step. Once you get to that screen with all of those listed, click on the Managae Addons button towards the bottom.

Thats odd... Doesnt show the manage addons button anywhere on Programs tab.
