Hi Srinivas,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community and we are glad to assist you on this issue.
 

As per the issue description, it seems like you are unable to play HD videos on YouTube and the laptop is not able to detect the camera.
 
I would like to gather some information on this issue to help you in a better way:
 
1) Which version of Internet Explorer are you using to play to HD videos on YouTube? Is it the Modern version or the desktop version of Internet Explorer?
2) Do you get any error message when you try to play the HD videos on YouTube? If yes, what is the exact error message that you get?
 
If you are using Modern version of Internet Explorer to play the HD videos on YouTube, I would suggest you to play the videos on desktop version of Internet Explorer. Check if it helps.

Hi Team,

1) I am using Internet explorer 10 version (the problem with both the versions. i.e. desktop version and normal version).
2) While playing videos one message is coming. the message is "there is a problem with internet explorer, please restart your internet explorer", then it will automatically closes and reopens the tab.

Method1:
In below mail chain, you have mentioned that manage add ons and provided a link. The link is saying that how to disable or enable. But it is not mentioned that what exactly we needs to disable and what exactly we need to enable??

Method2:
Compatability view: I tried this also still it is not working for me.

Regarding Camera:

Hi Srinivas,


Thank you for providing us an update on this issue.

 
I can understand the inconvenience which you are facing on this issue.

 
On issue related to HD videos on Internet Explorer, I would suggest you to reset Internet Explorer settings as we have tried all possible troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue.

You can refer to the link to reset Inter Explorer settings:

Disclaimer: The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might reset security settings or privacy settings that you added to the list of Trusted Sites. The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might also reset parental control settings. We recommend that you note these sites before you use the Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature.

 
Considering the issue with the webcam on the laptop, as there are no webcam drivers available on the manufacturer website, I would suggest you to contact Sony to get the required webcam drivers.
 

You can refer to the link to contact them:

 

 
As far as the issue with the playing MKV files on Windows Media Player, I would like to inform you that Windows Media Player does not support MKV file on Windows 8.
