Hello,
Did you immunize your system?
Do you have the SDHelper activated?

Yes, I immunized.
I think SDHelper is enabled. Looking in IE Tools,spybot configuration is there.
I tried to add the url of the video but couldn't.

Hello,
Please open the Tools menu in your Internet Explorer and choose 'Spybot - Search Destroy Configuration'.
There you will find a drop down menu where you should select "Ask for blocking confirmation".

If you want to visit a blocked website choose "Allow". Hope this solves the problem.
If this doesn't work please run Spybot-S&D and select "Spybot-S&D" --> "Immunize" in the navigation bar on the left. Please hit "Undo".
Then run Spybot - Search & Destroy and switch to the Advanced mode via the menu item Mode.
Now select 'Tools' - 'Resident' from the navigation bar on the left.
Please untick the checkbox in front of the 'SdHelper'.

I followed your instructions but still can't download the video in IE7 :(
If you want to visit a blocked website choose "Allow". - I never had this choice.
Please untick the checkbox in front of the 'SdHelper' - Did that, too.
Is it necessary to Check for problems? I haven't restarted the computer. Maybe that will fix things?
Thanks for your help.
BTW, I am able to view the video using Firefox, so is there some other IE specific thing to undo?

Which Media player program are you using?
I usually use Windows Media Player. When I view the video in Firefox, it doesn't open a player. I get the impression it's a flash file because when I right-click the video, it mentions Flash.
Any other suggestions how I can see the google video on IE?
