Computer help required.. (NOT scrapping)

So the last 2 days when watching youtube vids they seem to be taking longer to load, and skippin, pixelating and repeating sections. Prior to this all was fine, and ddandy.

Is my video card on the way out or something?

Any ideas fellas?

thanks,

Adam

Strange, but I'm having the same problems with Youtube. Like you, just the last couple days. I play a lot of music on Youtube and it's really annoying to have it keep stopping for buffering. I thought it was my ISP.

mines not buffering, just skipping and repeating 2 second bits.

Might be an issue with their site at the moment.

Im guessing its Youtube and not your computer. Try playing a video that you have already on your computer, if it plays fine its not your computer. Its sounding like a connection problem or a problem with Youtubes servers.

Clean all cookies then clean out your flash files. That should help.

You have people who say/think many things on the best time to do it.

I have my computer setup to auto run cleaning at 12am so that each day started on a clean slate

But you can do it at any time of the day.

Perhaps reinstall your video driver? or check for updates.

Its not a video drive issue. If it was a drive issue he would be having issues seeing far more than just youtube. He is able to do other things on the computer so its not that

P.s video card/video driver shows everything from video to the items on your screen. So if you WHERE able to watch youtube videos (there is no video card/driver out there that cant handle that...so its not a driver/card issue or being to outdated) It has to be with the browser. Most likely with cookies and old flash files.

he never stated whether or not it was just youtube or all videos.

With him saying watching youtube videos, And then him saying they where working just fine before hand. So unless he updated the driver, changes something in the system (settings) Its most likely not the video card but if he is able to play a video outside of youtube then its a browser/cookie or flash file issue.
