i'm a helpful, funny and insightful person i have many answers in my head i just need the right question and i'll give the right answer
Youtube is really start to get on my nerves?
Ok, so for the last few days Youtube videos will randomly freeze on me causing the tab to reopen, or say that a long script is running or the audio will continue and not the video. Its random and I don't know whats causing it.
I have:
Ran a thorough virus scan
Uninstalled and reinstalled Flash, Shockwave and Java
Disabled all toolbars
This didn't fix the problem so I reloaded my computer thinking it might be a software glitch, the computer has a fresh installation Windows 7 64 bit fully up to date and I am using IE9 as I found IE10 too glitchy before I reloaded machine so I'm going to wait till they iron out the kinks to install IE10, its STILL doing it
Here's the really weird part its also doing in Chrome?
So any ideas, by the way I'm kind of a techy geek so you don't need to explain things in laymans terms I'll understand
One thing youtube is doing is a survey its on a bar at the top of the page and I'm wondering if the script from that is causing the glitch but I don't know how to check on that
Thank you if you can give me an answer to this
1 AnswerYouTube8 years agoInternet explorer 8 Windows XP keeps freezing?
Hi guys
My mums computers runs Windows XP SP3 all latest updates from microsoft, it has the latest compatible flash version, latest shockwave version, latest java version and the computer has avast free version installed and threatfire from pc tools
There are no viruses reported from avast, threatfire, malwarebytes, trend micros housecall, bit defender and avira ALL of them report NO viruses despite doing a FULL scan
Ive used a registry scanner and cleared up registry entries in the system
Ive uninstalled IE8 back to IE6 and then reinstalled IE8 STILL the bloody thing freezes on my mum but only in internet explorer, i can switch her over to mozilla firefox or chrome or any other browser but she has used internet explorer for so long now it would be weird for her to switch
so if any of you can offer any advice on what to do i would appreciate it
thank you

1 AnswerSkin Conditions9 years agosong ideas for wedding ceremony?
Hi guys
Just looking for a little inspiration here, I'm getting married in October this year and have already compiled a list of songs that I want to be played whilst waiting for my then to bride to arrive (you know just in case shes a little later than expected etc...)
I want music that is romantic and reverent as it is a Mormon church in the UK where the service will take place, I just wonder if any you guys can offer suggestions other than what I already have
The songs I have (not necessarily in order of play):
Whitney Houston - I look to you
Ryandan - Like the sun
LeAnn Rimes - How do I live
Celine Dion - Because you loved me
Ryandan - Stay with you
LeAnn Rimes - I need you
Texas - In a our lifetime
Myley Cyrus - The climb
Lady Antebellum - Never alone
Adele - Make you feel my love
The Script - The man who can't be moved
Eva Cassidy - The songbird
Corinne Bailey Rae - Like a star
Natasha Beddingfield - Say it again
I have yet to have these songs passed to the bishop of the church for his approval but whatever you can suggest could help me
thanks in advance

i have an acer aspire 5740 running windows 7 64 bit NO other issues at present

1 AnswerMSN9 years agoAstra oil warning light?
hey guys
i have a 1997 (P) MK3 Astra1.4 8v single point injection it has just over 112,000 on the clock and generally runs pretty well, its just had a full service at 110,000 (by me) with decent parts from halfords
Last night when i slowed at some lights the oil pressure light came on so i pulled over to inspect the oil level, i noticed that once i applied even very light throttle the light would extinguish then return once the engine was at idle so i stopped the engine to check the oil level which was fine so i drove the car home /9a very short distance) and went to bed as it was late and i was tired
So i come to drive the car today and on start up with engine cold the light stays off only to come on at idle when warm, after looking at some sites they suggested it could be the pump which would fit given the mileage and the fact the light does flicker sometimes
I have since put an oil treatment in from STP designed to offer better lubrication under load etc... this didnt do anything until i came back from manchester to burnley and ok maybe i shouldnt drive a car with low oil warning that distance but when the car was driving there was no low pressure light and the car drives normally, tonight i came to a stop outside my house and no light i let it idle for about 5 -10 minutes still no warning light
so is it a fault thats cleared itself or do you thik it could come back, do you think its something else other than the pump?
any answers would help thanks

3 AnswersOther - Australia1 decade agoa serious question regarding pedophilia?
Before I start I am not a toad or a spammer on this site I have an active account and use this site regularly to pose questions and also answer questions so please bear this in mind before responding to the following question
How do pedophiles get hold of such graphic and disgusting imagery or video footage of some of the things that they find so appealing, I know that certain people record these horrific acts themselves and then pass it around certain circles but some people aren't in them circles so how do they get hold of such things?
i am not asking for pedophilic porn nor am i interested in obtaining it, i am simply asking how and why are such shocking things allowed to be distributed across the world and how is it done with out most of the people doing it being caught!

5 AnswersOther - Internet1 decade agoGoogle issue that has all but stumped me?
It is to do with my mums computer which has Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3
On google if you type in a search item it throws up search results as usual and then on most occasions if you select a link even if the link is genuine (as I'm not daft and so don't go for a link that I think or know to be a dodgy link) it comes up document moved redirecting and then comes up with a new website that has nothing to do with the search item or trys to be but clearly isn't what you were searching for!
I have done the following in this order
Reset Internet Explorer
Uninstalled IE8 back to IE6 and then reinstalled IE8
Used Avast boot scan (we use Avast as it is one of the best Antiviruses that is free)
Used Malwarebytes full scan
Installed Mozilla Firefox
Checked and rechecked Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox settings
Made sure that Windows, IE8 and Mozilla and anti virus software is FULLY up to date
This issue STILL comes up! short of throwing a brick at the computer I don't know what else i can do to sort it out
Help please, sensible answers only anything that is daft will be reported thank you

4 AnswersDesktops1 decade agoWhy ask questions that google can answer?
Not having a go at anyone who wants to ask questions on yahoo answers and enjoy answering questions but there some questions on Yahoo answers that are so easily answered by Google or similar search engines
I can appreciate the forum that it produces and that a more in depth answer may be required but some questions are so easy that it seems like they are asking a question for the sake of it and I don't get that personally
So first of all
Why?
Do you? if so why?
Again I am not having a go so no offensive remarks please as these will be reported
