Windows 7: Internet Explorer not responding on youtube page

the title says it all i have windows 7 home premium 64bit i just upgraded. and everytime i go to youtube it says not responding all the time. i think i have internet explorer 7 because an update pops up and say to install internet explorer 8 should? please help

Check drivers in device manager.

And complete computer specs. It will make it easier to diagnose the problem

And go for IE 8. Not just for Youtube , but also security.

What graphics card do you have?

Your computer spec say 500 for Memory. How much memory?

We can give you better help with this information.

ok i did it and all drivers are installed. i can go on the internet for everything else but youtube right when it loads the home page it says not responding. and i have 500 G hardrive 4G rom

We start with the easy things, the we will get to the more difficult.


Remove all add ons from browser. If does not work then try this

Try another browser Maybe FF or Chrome. Its your choice


To remove IE addons Tools ...Manage Add ons.

awww but i love internet exxploreer

This is a test and only a test. Lest see if it works. If it does we know what to fix. I like IE also,

Use the drivers guide in my sig and post a screenshot of HWInfo32's summary screen. Search for snip in the start menu.

ok it started working randomly but works for a while then would randomly not respond it seems to do it alot tho and i have to restart it and i always have to force restart because of the shut down music wont play its really really annoying

My computer is doing the same thing. This is an intermentant problem. Some days I have no problem others I can't watch any Youtube content. I have the exact same problem when running Mozilla, but I prefer IE. I have the most current updates and running a 64-bit system on a quadcore with 4 gbs of ram. I problem continues when running a video on a different website hosted by Youtube. Any help would be really appreciated.
