Windows 7-- youtube

Hello I am having trouble with youtube and other video streaming sites on windows 7, when i had vista on this laptop everything worked out fine, but now after i watch a couple of videos and i click on the next one my browser crashes and i have to restart my computer in order to watch more videos, this happens on every site.

If there is no way to fix this i would just like to know how to run my System recovery discs for windows vista, because when i place them in the dvd drive they do not play automatically and when i open the folder all i can do is view the files, and cannot run the cd.


Thank you.

I use both Firefox and IE, updated to the fullest, that is also what i was going to ask, if there was anything i could update for videos ( Like youtube) because i recently updated from vista to 7

If you upgraded it would be better to do a clean install. Try Opera.

Can you explain to me why it would be better to do a clean install... sorry im really not good with OS...

and I just recently found out its my browsers that crash not just while watching videos although that is when it happens the most

thank you

ok i guess i can try that.. hopefully i have no more problems.

Yep looks like the clean install fixed my problems, thank you much.

Yes it really is way better, except now my digital persona built in fingerprint reader is not working, the program itself works fine but when i try to enroll a finger it tells me that the fingerprint reader is not connected, bummer i love just sliding my finger to log into windows
