Big Youtube Problem

Hi,

I have had this problem with youtube for about half a year now. It worked perfectly fine and then all of a sudden it just stopped working properly completely, it will either have a black screen and just show that it is loading but will never load or it will just load up and play 5 secods of the video and then stop and go no further.
I have tried a lot of solutions that peopel have posted on the net like deleting all my cookies and everything from my computer etc but none of them work at all.
I am using Mozilla firefox on windows 7 and i have also tried on internet explorer but it just does the same thing. I have th elatest flash player update and the latest shockwave player and videos will stream and work on other sites perfectly fine and just won't work on youtube.
If anybody can help me at all i would be very grateful as this has been driving me crazy for half a year now with not being able to view videos that i want to see.
Thanks again.

Nick

 

Hello and Welcome to MajorGeeks Nick.
What version of Adobe Flash Player are you currently running?

 

Hi Spock96

Thanks for your response. I have version 10.2.153.1 installed on the computer.
I read somewhere that it may have been the flash player that was the problem and i made sure i got the latest version installed but it still doesn't work and it's a bit frustrating.
Thanks for any help you can give.

My suggestion would be to downgrade to Flash Player 10 to get it working then maybe upgrade back to the 10.2 player..(Atleast that's what I did)
