This weekend i discovered that i cannot play any of the films associated with youtube.
films will dont load up and play in the youtube site and my networking profile page no longer plays youtube films that i posted to it.
Is there a simple solution to this new problem. everything works except the computer just does not play the film.
youtube videos no longer play

Re: youtube videos no longer play
have you installed anything new ? or have you uninstalled something ?
what browser do you use ? if you using IE or Avant, then theres your problem.
anyways download CCleaner and run it with all options on (exept 'wipe free space'), when running the cleaner, make sure you choose all options under both tabs > "windows" and "applications"
once done with cleaner, go to registry (in ccleaner) and run that too with all options on, fix all errors and then reboot.
if it still doesnt work, try reinstalling flash player

Re: youtube videos no longer play
browser is mozilla firefox 2.
i only have to reinstall flash player as i have already used ccleaner etc.
I have also found that some web pages are not loading properly(hotmail), or at least the first time round. I can work for an hour or so and then up comes the firefox error reporting and closes down. I read on mozilla's site that most 3rd party developers are almost up to date with FF3. would it be worth updating to ff3 yet, coz a while back u said it was pants due to the add on problem, that said, i couldn't download addons (adblocker) either.
i have trouble logging on to sites as well, including this one. I have logged on today from a different machine running the same software as my own with no trouble at all.
i'll report back as soon as...

Re: youtube videos no longer play
sounds like some kind of malware problem. or MAYBE its the DNS.
- go to your network connections
- right click your connection (local area connection usually if you use the ethernet)
- properties
- double click on internet protocol (TCP/IP)
- insert those two into "use the following DNS server addresses"
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
click ok in all window's
also if you running CCleaner, make sure you choose ALL options (exept the wipe free space) and also make sure your browser is closed.
you should also uninstall your antivirus and firewall if you have and install "Zonealarm security suite" instead. it has everything in it. AV, firewall, program control..etc.
NOTE - if only web is lagging (sites, msn..etc) then its probably DNS.

Re: youtube videos no longer play
Reading your above reply was very informative though it made me think that there must be a more straight forward explanation as I had not tampered with anything. After a bit of exploration I realised had set up ZoneAlarm to block too much in the privacy settings for web bugs and cookies etc. I reset it to factory default and hey presto it all started to work again. I even signined in here first time too. I am running ZA security suite and nothing else as per your previous advice.
I dont fully understand what ZA had done to my system, but there it is anyway incase anyone else does the same as me.
Cheers again Seth.
PS. Hope you had a good easter.

Re: youtube videos no longer play
well i always suggest zonealarm security suite, because it covers all parts (AV, firewall, malware protectino..etc) and most important, it has "program control". even if virus and/or trojan gets into computer then zonealarm blocks it from doing major damage and on trojan's case it wont allow it to send logged stuff to the attacker by blocking the internet access (this is wht program control does).
however you can totally turn off privacy settings, this is the cause of your lag. Better get "adblockplus", "stealther" and "popup blocker" addons for firefox and you are good.
set Stealther to ALL, exept downloads. so it blocks everything exept downloads, if you need to login somewhere, then disable it with one click and turn back on after you logout.
