Youtube not working properly

Hi guys,

funny thing going on on my computer. As many people around, i watch a lot of videos on Youtube. But lately a very strange thing has been happening. When i access the website and search for a video, the site return the results normally and i watch the video i choose. But when i try a second video it wont load it. Sometimes i get an empty area where the player should be and other times a black rectangle. This happens using either Firefox or IE.

Another funny thing (not sure if related) is that i listen ot a lot of music on futureperfectradio.com. But pretty much at the same time the youtube problem began, the player on the radio website acts funny as well. Its plays normally, but wont load the info like artist, track and album name. And it also happens on Firefox or IE.

I dont think its a virus since my computer has been declared clean here a sometime ago. If i come to think about it, it might have been almost at the same time this problem began. Not saying its related or anything, but its a funny coincidence. Obviously i cant be a 100% sure its not a virus since im not the only user of the machine.

Anyways... I hope you guys can help me.

Thanks

 

Hi wintermute,

Have you deleted the cache, cookies and history?

When you say you click on another video, have you waited a minute or two to see if it'll load? Also, for some videos, pause the playback and let that little progress bar move to the right before you click play.

 

Hi Chris,

yes i tried all that. The problem is, sometimes the player wont even load. no progress bar or nothing.

Could it be some sort of conflict involving java or adobe flash?

 

have you got the latest Adobe Flash Player installed.

 

yes i do and same for java. also tested the installation on the adobe website showing no problems.

maybe a service disabled?
