I have a computer running XP SP3. When I watch a youtube video or any video that opens in the browser and close the video before its over the audio keeps playing until the video is over no matter what I do. I can close the tab or the entire screen and it will keep playing. And sometimes when I right click to copy and paste the screen does a weird movement like when you first open up a new tab and after it does that right click will not work on a browser unless I close them all out and restart the browsers. I downloaded a fresh copy of firefox and still does it. The right click thing is random. Sometimes it will work all day and sometimes it happens first thing I get on the computer. The video thing always happens. Any ideas?

Yes, Check what else is running on your machine.

Use Process Explorer. link:

Try booting in safe mode (w/ networking). See if it happens.

See if it happens in another account.

See if it happens with Chrome.

I've seen the "right click issue" caused by a poorly written app. It lso killed the cut-and paste keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+c, ctrl+v)

Seen the "keeps playing" caused by a browser helper (that didn't help ) But it would only do it in IE, not FF. I HAVE seen it on a Mac, but it would only play a few extra seconds of the video (not the whole thing.)

Did you have any recent 'updates'?


Oh, you wouldn't happen to have a squirrel randomly swing across the screen, right?


Interested in a different approach? Try watching THIS video, it's a different move you could try... relaxation via kinetic elimination. Might be more effective if you have the proper attire, not sure...

Do you use any 'funky' apps (old games, utilites, things that map the keyboard, or animal pron?)

Ive had that happen a few times. I just pause the video, then 'x' the page off and its gone.

One of my favorite fixes ever.

On a different note.

It sounds to me like you have an extra application running. If the exorcist and holy water doesn't work (please do not put any water on your computer), I would try a few different programs.

Start with Adaware and run it,

Then get Spybot S&D and run it,

and then download Ccleanerand run it.

What browser are you using? I don't care for Internet Explorer, though I don't fault anyone for using it. I recommend firefox.

I have a few walkthroughs here Man I just need to give Rumor the user/pass to this site so he can do something with it...Something Manly, something involving Squirrels. Why did they cancel Drawn together?

Uninstall Adobe Flash, then go here and install a fresh version of Flash. Hopefully that fixes your problems.

In no way do I see that as "Weird computer help"

You a wise guy?

LOL

I have a fresh copy of firefox installed. It doesnt show anything other than what I have open. I will try some of those sites you guys put up and see what happens. Rumor you are right. It kills to keyboard copy and paste to unless I try it 5 or 6 times and then it works.

It's probably an audio codec not shutting down properly (or not receiving the command to shut down). If you use something like ffdshow or AC3Filter or any other audio filter, try reinstalling that.

Actually there is a ton of crap running that I have no idea about when I use the process viewer that rumor posted.



That is a screen shot of the window. I have no idea what most of that stuff is. +'s all around

I don't see anything out of the ordinary. Seriously, audio that keeps playing is almost certainly not caused by malware.

So any ideas on what can be done to fix it?? Its gets very annoying having to restart my pc all the time.
