If the video file that you are currently playing crashes or causes Internet Explorer to freeze, it indicates a problem with Flash Player or sound card drivers or internal problems.

1. Close any window that is currently active on your desktop.
2. Connect to the Internet (if you are not already connected) and launch your web browser. If IE is not opening up, try another browser.

4. Click the Run button again when prompted. Click Run again to confirm the action. Remember, to run this tool, you must be logged on as an administrator user to your Windows computer. Failing to which can result in an error.
5. Wait while the tool diagnoses and fixes the problem. When done, close the window or do as instructed by the tool. The tool updates drivers and applies fixes to any internal errors that are preventing video files from playing properly. The tool fixes IE crash/freeze problems, issues with other Windows applications or unstable video playing.
6. If prompted, restart the computer. Restart the player (VLC or WMP etc.) and replay the same or any video file that you want to. If it plays fine, the issue has fixed. If you continue to face problems playing video files, try this method (step 7).
