You're welcome and thanks for the information. 🙂

I would still like to know what kind of videos they are. 

• Is the computer unable to play online videos like from Youtube or videos from a DVD, etc?

As per the product model no. you have an HP Pavilion a4313w Desktop PC shipped with Win7 operating system. If this issue started recently with the videos then please perform a Microsoft System Restore to rollback the PC to an earlier date when everything worked fine. A System Restore will not delete your data. 

If you're trying to play a movie then please using other video player applications and check if that helps. Also, download and run the Microsoft troubleshooter to fix any issues with the Windows operating system.

I sincerely hope this fixes the issue. Let me know. All the best! 🙂
