I believe you've already asked this question a little while ago.
You chose not to give me the "Best Answer", and I see that
you're still stuck. Nevertheless, I'm willing to make amends,
and offer you the solution again:
If your YouTube is slow, stuck or weird, and people tell you
to either change or install stuff, DON'T TOUCH A THING.
Please do not tinker with java scripts, firewall settings, flash
players, activeX controls, antivirus utilities, pop-up blockers,
browsers or registries - and definitely stay away from all the
stupid add-ons, converters and/or downloaders that people
here on Y!A are trying to sell you.
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.
Every day, YouTube often shuts down many of their servers
in order to update stuff. Be patient if your YouTube is stuck,
slow or garbled. Transmissions from YouTube's computers
to you are actually done in small chunks of "flash" at a time.
That's why sometimes you may only see bits and pieces of
either video, text, a blank screen and/or the spinning circle.
Your problem may fix itself in a few hours or by the next day.
If your YouTube continues to behave slow, stuck or strange,
clear your "cache" of all "temporary internet files", "cookies"
and "history. Things should run much smoother 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 ruins YouTube. Simply clicking on
"Don't Accelerate this Website" won't help you whatsoever.
Note 2: in order for some videos to play smooth, sometimes
both "flash" AND "shockwave" are required. Other than that,
avoid YouTube's beta homepage and stay away from all the
sales pitches that people here on Y!A are shilling, because
their replies have nothing to do with your question, and their
products will probably make your problems worse. Besides,
what kind of boffo answer is: [my paraphrase] "Although you
can't access or watch videos properly, get this downloader."
Note 3: an unusual fix that once worked for me was altering
the URL "www . youtube . com" to simply "youtube . com",
(or you can even try "ca . 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 (the correct way).
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.

Make sure you have the current version of Flash installed, and delete all temporary internet files, cookies, etc. to free-up space on your computer since videos take-up a lotta space and memory.
