   Videos in IE8

   IE8 has been working just fine on my computer for months.  IE8 about a month   
   ago started not loading videos from *some* sites like Marketwatch.com. It   
   does load YouTube and videos from other sites.  I've contacted Marketwatch   
   and they have no answer.  IE8 works just fine on my wife's computer. I opened   
   IE8 to tools/internet options on both my computer and my wife's and compared   
   the settings for all tabs and they are exactly the same, but her IE8 works   
   and mine doesn't.  I have the latest version of flash and Java. I installed   
   Microsoft Silverlight 4.0.51204.0 to no avail. I disabled Windows firewall   
   and Avast to no avail and enabled them again.  I re-booted in Safe Mode with   
   Networking and got the same bad results. I did not have IE8 in my Add/Remove   
   list as it was installed when I installed SP3.  I downloaded IE8 and   
   installed it over the one that was there to no avail.  Now IE8 shows in my   
   Add/Remove list, but it can not be un-installed so I can try a repair.   
      
   What could be my problem please and how do I fix it?
