    There could be contradicting "cookies" which may

    have placed themselves on your computer or your

    memory is full and can not display things properly.

    Exit out of YouTube (but not your browser) and do

    one of the steps below. Afterwards, shutdown and

    reboot. Not only will this "unclog" your computer's

    cache memory and your "cookies", everything will

    come across as fresh and new in YouTube's eyes:

    → Tools → Internet Options

    I had this problem myself on YouTube and also signing in to Google Gmail. But I found a solution so maybe it will work for you. Follow these instuctions:

    Go to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc and find a file called HOSTS

    Right click HOSTS and go to properties then make sure it isn't a read only file. If the box next to read only is check than uncheck it.

    Open it in notepad and delete any lines after

    # localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.

    127.0.0.1 localhost

    ::1 localhost

    Save the file in notepad hopefully the problem is solved.
