AARGH WTF is wrong with my YouTube videos??

DaRuSsIaMaN · 11-05-2008, 03:21 AM

Grrrrrrr this is the worst kind of problem!! Something totally ridiculous and unexplicable.

Makes me want to tear my hair out...

Here it is: every youtube video I try to watch plays the first 0:02 (2 seconds) and then freezes! And that's it. This started happening randomly I think like a week ago. I have no idea what other events are correlated with it. I don't remember making any system changes, and it never did this before. I can go to other sites and watch videos, and they work perfectly fine... So this doesn't make any sense, why does my $&!*(%&!%(!*!%()~! computer not like YouTube all of a sudden???

All i can suggest is making sure you have the latest version of flash :/

thomas234 · 11-05-2008, 04:03 PM

Have you tried different browsers? IE and FF?

DaRuSsIaMaN · 12-05-2008, 03:45 AM

Oh. Latest version of flash, huh? Lol ... that just might be the answer! Let me look into that!

DaRuSsIaMaN · 14-05-2008, 07:44 AM

Oh man, it worked!!

That was brilliant of you, Impy! Haha I can't believe that was so simple.

Thanks a lot, mate! (I'm even gonna sound British for ya heh heh)

oh my goodnesss.... okay, so I thought it was solved, but now this problem keeps happening again!!

Basically, every time I reinstall flash player, the problem disappears. But then after a while it comes back! And then I have to reinstall flash again. And I think this happens eventually even when I don't turn off or restart the computer at all (often times I just hybernate it at the end of each session).

Why does it keep doing that to me??
