I have attempted to click on MIDI files on a number of different web sites but every time I get the Plug-in Error box w/ "An error occurred inside a plug-in contained on this page.". Then the browser closes and asks if I want to report this to Microsoft. I then have to re-start the browser.
This is a new occurrence because I was able to open these MIDI files previously.
This happens with my three services: Comcast using IE6; Compuserve uses IE6 AND Firefox using Mozilla! I have not added any new hardware and only software update was to Adobe Photoshop Album.
On one site the MIDI files were also in a ZIP file which I was able to download OK and then I could play them just fine on the computer. But if I try to open any MIDI file from any WEB page, I get the error and browser shutdown.
To try and fix this, I did a virus scan with Norton-nothing found. I used CCleaner, Ad-Aware; SpyBot; and Registry Booster but none of these fixed the problem.
Although I consider myself an experienced user, I AM NOT very good at system functions so I DO NOT touch the registry at all. I am at a loss to figure this out. I have not tried a system restore to a previous date yet because I wanted to see if I could find out what caused this.
MY system is HP pavilion a450n WinXP SP2 2GB ram. Internet connection is with cable via Comcast. I use ZoneLabs firewall and Norton Anti-virus. Any advice is appreciated.
