Windows 7: sometimes online video not loading properly

can someone here tell me why sometimes videos on youtube or other websites just wont load...stop and start and just cant seem to get thru even a half hour vid and the next day its fine?

I know that same thing happens to me on YouTube. I've been told it is their servers that are the issue.
I wouldn't worry over it.

I would check your Flash drivers becuase if i am not mistaken that is what youtube uses.. and shockway... and whatever the hell you cn find on Adobe

also a suggestion for upcoming issues.. update your codecs


Google K-Lite mega codec and download that.... works wonders!

codecs are something of a confusing issue for me, if someone here could explain where to find them on my pc and then how to update them I would really appreciate it. if the downloading of this K-lite package bypasses all that then please say so, so I can just do that and be done with it.

ok, First of all you don't need codecs to watch videos in YouTube.
You only need Browser and Flash plugin for that particular browser.

Try this:
How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control
Download uninstaller appropriative for your system and use it. (ir will completely unisntall both Adobe Flash plugin and Adobe ActiveX)

Now go to Adobe - Adobe Flash Player
And download it with your default browser (the browser you use)
And install it.

Hope it will help you.

youtube is not really the problem for me...very rarely. my main problem is watching movies online. thats where I believe codecs are the issue. again, this only happens rarely so it sounds more like the first reply i got in this thread. but just to be sure i was wondering if someone here could run me thru a process of looking over my drivers and FIND OUT if they are working properly or need updating.
