Youtube wont work for me...

[Guest Satanisk_Slakt]

Last few days, I've got some problems with Youtube. Everytime I try to watch it, it just loads a few seconds. Usually between 2-12 seconds, that it just stops loading or buffering or whatever you call it.

Everything worked fine just a few days ago. I haven't done anything strange, changed any settings, downloaded anything that can have given me a virus. I've scanned for a virus. I've deleted cookies. So I don't know what do to. I can't watch any videos there now. What shall I do?

Try reinstalling Flash player : www.flash.com

What browser are you using, its possibly the flash plugin, try using a different browser to work out if its a plugin or something else.Firefox can be a pain with flash plugin's so you might just need to update the plugin

Worked much better on IE, and it worked on Firefox after reinstalling the Flashplayer. Thank you both!

You MIGHT get a good answer there if this happens again.

Are you using a wireless connection?

I'll try to ask there next time then.

Are you using a wireless connection?

Well, yeah. Kind of at least. I've got (I have no idea if this is what you call it in English. It's just an straight translation from Swedish.) Mobile Broadband since two months back. I moved back than, and in my new place, I can't have ordinary broadband, just some ADSL, and I haven't been bothered to get that yet. So I bought myself a cheap USB-modem so that I use the 3G phone-net for access to internet.

My guess it that is part of the problem.

If your internet connection cut only for 1 second, the youtube video will stop loading.

It happened to me 3 months ago. I tried everything I could but it didn't solve the problem. My wireless router was the problem.

I changed it and everything is working great since then.

Well Monty could be on the right track. Those USB wireless modems drop out all the time.

Try your laptop on a different connection somewhere (internet cafe or whatever) and if they load, then you'll have found your problem.

EDIT: Didn't see you'd solved it. GJ.

Good tip, that's something I wasn't aware of. Thanks!
