My laptop wont play music, or play youtube videos or other media on sites like ; Imeem, Youtube,?

If your YouTube is slow, stuck or weird -- and people tell you

to change or install stuff -- DON'T TOUCH A THING.

You should never tinker around with things like java scripts,

firewall settings, flash players, anti-virus programs, activeX

controls, pop-up blockers, browsers or registries -- and you

should definitely stay away from stupid add-ons, utilities and

downloaders.

None of those things will help you, because your computer

and YouTube were working perfectly fine at one point, right?

The first rule of thumb and best option should ALWAYS be:

don't disable, erase, uninstall, separate, switch, download,

alter, install, add or change anything. Doing those will only

make matters worse for you.

Many times every single day, YouTube shuts down many of

their servers without telling anybody, in order to update stuff.

Be patient if your YouTube pages seem slow, stuck, screwy

or garbled. Transmissions from YouTube to you are actually

done in small chunks of "flash", a little at a time. That's why

sometimes you may only see bits and pieces of text, videos

or graphics. Your problem may fix itself in a few hours or by

the next day.

But if your YouTube continues to be slow, stuck or strange,

clear your "cache" of all "temporary internet files", "cookies"

and "history. Things will surely be better afterwards.

If you're not sure how to do this, or if you want extra tips on

how to make YouTube run even faster (all without having to

buy or install anything), then click my avatar and email me.

I will guide you through "cache" clearing plus my other tips

in easy English with full explanations.

[Note: if you have Google Web Accelerator, dump it, burn it,

trash it, disable it, uninstall it -- do everything you can to get

as far away from it as possible (even though this contradicts

my advice). GWA totally destroys YouTube. Simply clicking

on "Don't Accelerate this Website" won’t help you at all.

Note 2: in order for long videos to play smoothly, sometimes

both "flash" AND "shockwave" are required. Other than that,

avoid YouTube's beta homepage, and please stay away from

any stupid utilities and downloaders that people here on Y!A

may be shilling, because their replies have absolutely nothing

to do with your question, and their wares may actually make

your problem worse. Besides, what kind of a boffo answer is

(my paraphrase): "Although you can't access or watch videos

properly, get this downloader."

Note 3: oddly enough, a weird solution that once worked for

me was changing the URL site from "www . youtube . com"

to just simply "youtube . com".]

probably network traffic is high, or something..

these will help you...

1. Use Opera browser, it will load faster and smoother, and re-install latest flash.

get the latest flash player, and install it.. make sure all the browsers are NOT running during installation...

OR..

2. It could be due to slow connection or high traffic.

Try watching it during off peak hours, the video will be smoother.

Or you could watch it offline smoothly... try using 'zillatube' .

It works well - Just yahoo or google search "zillatube" to get it.
