Youtube freezing after 2 seconds

OmegaChosen · February 21st, 2007, 03:59 AM

Okay, it started like yesterday. I was watching a vid on youtube, nothing big. But after a while the sound stopped working. I then refreshed it and when the video started, it played with no sound and stopped after two seconds. I moved the bar on the video and it played again for two seconds on wherever i put it and again with no sound. I tried again today and it's the same. Can anyone help me?

I have windows xp, internet explorer, and the latest flash player.

try it in firefox. Here have a download link;

If that doesn't work, I'd do a virus/spyware scan, clear cookies / cache... reset pc? reinstall flash too

did all of that except the firefox thing. i'll try it. but i have been searching the net for answers and it seems it is out there and i think they say it has something to do with ie7, but i'm not sure. i heard that trying it in a different browser still doesn't help, but i guess it's worth a shot. thanks Midnighter! and you two dogenzaka!

FireFox is win. It really helps YouTube. I have IE7 and FireFox, and FireFox runs amazingly faster and is just much more fluid, secure, and intuitive than IE7

DOWN WITH MICROSOFT!
