When I click on a video clip in Internet Explorer or Firefox, I Get the message"firefox or explorer has cause an invalid fault in Wininet.dll and will now close". I have updated all my browsers,DirectX,Flash Player and Java programs. I have emptied cache,cookies and temp files. No Luck. Except for video, the browsers work fine. Any Ideas

I ran across this problem quite awhile ago. It was caused by Spyware on the machine. I don't have the article here, so I can't say exactly what it was. Install a reliable spyware removal program. Post back and let us know what that finds.
