Up till 7 days ago, my YouTube worked great on our home PC. Now it goes one minute and flips to black screen?

with 'error' message, or it will stop for a long time, start up but the picture won't move and all we'll get is audio, then that too will stop.

I upgraded all our drivers, and it still won't work.

I opened the little box under the video and marked the performance from 460 to 144, nothing helps so far.

So any ideas on how to get a better set up? could it be our At&T wireless receiver is weakening?

    Does this happen on all browsers?

    A couple of solutions that have worked for me in the past:

    Firefox: Disable the Shockwave Flash addon. Restart Firefox

    Uninstall Adobe Flash player & install earlier version (10)

    Right click on the Youtube video and disable hardware acceleration in flash settings

    Sometimes, I have also had to reinstall Real Player.

    Perhaps any one of these options could help you..

    Make sure no one is leaching on your wifi. Plug your computer directly in to the router and see if you get normal performance that way. If you don't get normal performance that way. Use a website that will test your connection speed (http://www.speedtest.net/) If your speed isn't normal you may want to call your provider. I lost speed suddenly last year becuase a squirrel had chewed half way through the wire from the street pole.
