Firefox, IE, Opera all crash

When I go to any site with streaming media the browser crashes. I've tried Firefox 1.0, IE 6.0, and Opera 7.54 Event viewer logs something like this:
Faulting application firefox.exe, version 1.0.0.0, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0xe8505100.
Faulting application opera.exe, version 7.0.3929.0, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0xe8505100.Faulting application iexplore.exe, version 6.0.2900.2180, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0xe8505100.Fault bucket 127105787.


I have tons of codecs, and payers installed. I have QuickTime, WMP10, The Core Media Player, VideoLan (VLC), and Nero Media Player & ShowTime; as for codecs, I have all the codecs that the mentioned programs come with plus MKV and DivX 5.21. I used to have REAL Alternate, but I removed it thinking that it was the culprit.

Despite uninstalling and reinstalling My browsers are crashing when trying to play streaming media, with WMP. Even though, I have tried associating all file types with other players, the browsers are still using WMP

I rolled back from WMP10 to 9 and tried to uninstall windows media player through Add/Remove Windows components, but the browsers still insist on using Windows Media Player to view that type of streaming media. And, of course, once the browser launches the little WMP streaming media window, it is game over for the browser.

Can someone please help?!?!?

I don't know if I need to find some miracle way to uninstall WMP, or if there is someway to convice the browsers not to use WMP to play that type of streaming media, or if there is someway to find what the problem is.

Is there such a person that would know how to find and solve the problem?

If not; I'll settle for a work-around that doesn't require some kind of windows Re-install.
 
I downloaded and installed Real Player to see if it would work, and when I pasted the URL of the site, it started to act as if iit were going to load it, and then it crashed as usual.
