Default I'm Lost!!

I'm using Windows 98 and when I try to download a video, I'm getting the
error message, Invalid Syntax - Error = 800401E4. Windows Media Player fills
up the entire screen and just stops. It now happens for any video I try to
download from any website. I've been using Media Player for awhile now and
this is the first time I've had a problem with it. I'm sure it's something
simple but it's beyond me. Can anybody help?
Thanks, Doug.

that your player hasn't been compromised.
