Youtube Continually Crapping Out

[Answerprancer]

..on me.
Videos failing to load properly, stalling and taking ages to start.
Anyone else experiencing this?
(..and yes, I have tried turning it off and back on again!)

no problem at this end.

THAT was brilliant!
Aww, my only response, and what a great one - thanks for that JNO.
I'll have to e-mail a link to me Mum - she'll love it.
btw I just installed the latest Flash player and it seems to be better.

I am having problems installing the latest flash player. I removed the old one but still...

Are you with Talktalk AP? Its been dreadful today (still is) ...........

[Answerprancer]

Ann - nope, Virgin Media.
I put it down to 1) old flash player and 2) peak time in the USA
I tried deleting cache/cookies and it was just as crapulous - either in Firefox or Explorer. A bit better now with the new Flash.

Soc. I just went directly to the website and it D/Ld fine, I installed it then noticed halfway through that I'd forgotten to uncheck some piece of Google sh!te that came with it so had to uninstall that afterwards. What is it doing? (or not doing).

Halfway through installation it freezes and I get a message (forget what). I had this happen before and I sorted it. I just need to patient and work at it. Thanks AP.

To view YouTube you need to have an internet connection that is stable and has plenty of bandwidth. Contact your ISP and have them run some tests explain what is happening they may have to make some adjustments at their end

Ok, it's still a problem - Youtube just aint what it used to be.
Over half of everything I click on seizes up after a few seconds, pausing videos to try and get them to 'catch up' no longer works - any ideas?
