Youtube videos

[Tony G]

Hi all,

I wonder if someone can point me in the right direction to fix a problem. When I go onto Youtube like I did this evening via Fay's link, everything loads onto the page, but the actual video doesn't start, and just keeps buffering, if I click onto another video on the same page, it again loads everything else onto the page apart from the video which was chosen, which just continues to load.
This seems to only happen on Youtube, as I've tried other sites like www.wimp.com, and can view videos on here.

Looks like they are both Adobe Flash based, I can view both of them with Flash 10.
What version Flash are you using ?
Might pay to check for an update.

Mick,

I reinstalled Flash 10, which is what I had to start with.

wow they took all that time to make a video instead of just saying

Clear your internet cache and delete your cookies.

Way faster.

You're obviously a plain language man. But  when it comes to art you just can't hurry the artistic process

[Tony G]

Well, deleted all the cookies and Youtube works again.
Now I can watch Fay's New Year Youtube video.

Well that lasted long......not.
The same thing is happening again with Youtube, and I've deleted cookies and everything again, and it still will not load.
Any other suggestions?

Get rid of internet explorer and use something else,

try google chrome.

i've not had any problems using it.

I agree with Mac but if you use the "tools and toolbar" a lot in IE it will take a bit of getting used to finding the commands but you don't have to remove IE until you're happy with Chrome.
One great thing with Chrome is that if you have it installed on more than one machine, you can synch all your "favourites/bookmarks" to all machines

 really love chrome. Have recently put it on & have got used to it
