having problems with youtube...? - 774 - 05-25-2014 08:06 AM
when i load up youtube it takes a while to fully load up pages and for videos it plays the first few seconds then stops responding for 10 seconds then starts playing, any reasons for this? (this is the only site it happens on)

You need to update your internet explorer (also only use internet explorer for videos it streams videos fast) and update Adobe flash player. Once you've updated those applications, your videos and youtube will load and play at normal or fast speed. Try these steps.

The answer is simple!
Your ''Cache'' (Temp Internet Files), Virtual Memory, and/or "PageFiling" are near-full
and cannot take anymore. Â Simply delete your Cache (plus "Cookies" and "History"),
then clear your Memory with a shutdown & reboot. Â Afterwards, you will freak at how
fast and non-lagging your YouTube will be.
