computer freezing on youtube

[slowngreen]

My new computer freezes almost every time I try to watch a video on youtube, for several seconds before it finally gets going. Not a buffering deal, an actual freeze up so I can't do anything....Ideas?

No one? Its not just youtube, most any video place I try using does it.

I'm far from a computer wiz, hell, I'm hardly a user but maybe if you give some specs we could help.

That's odd. Happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Someone here had a link and I started wandering through the related links. After 4 or 5, my screen when red and showed horizontal lines. Everything was frozen. Had to hold down the power button and reboot it.
I thought I might have been having a problem with the new EVGA video card, but that was just a guess. It never happened again.

The only times that has happened to me, I had either installed third party codec packs for things like Tversity or Playon, or my flash software package was outdated.

Ok heres a dumb question, whats my flash software?

Adobe Flash Player

Flash is a software that was developed for internet video by Adobe. You can go here to update it on any computer except an Apple: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer.html

Actually now that I think of it, it wasn't doing this until I updated Adobe...?

could be a bug with your flash. thats my guess. Uninstall and re-install it is my advice

 

[slowngreen]

I'll give that a try...
