Soozy, maybe you need to download Adobe. Although since the recent changes, youtube has been freezing for me too. I have to hold my cursor over the play arrow to get it to work, even then it still stops and starts and sometimes doesn`t play at all.

I'd like to know too Soozy...........Youtube clips never work for me, and even if it's something I really want to see.....I just give up out of sheer frustration.

I've just done a quick search and it looks likely that your Flash program has been deleted. Other people have had this problem and I suggest you look at this link to see what to do.It gives a variety of answers, but it may be as simple as just downloading the Flash player from Adobe at here

If it's periodically freezing (buffering), it means that your internet connection is too slow to keep up the required data transfer rate.  Try www.speedtest.net to ensure that your download is higher than 2mb.

k you all - I recently installed abode but - doesn't seem to have helped. I'll soldier on. Many thanks.

Soozy, if I remember rightly, I had to make sure I had completely removed Adobe Flash before going to the site and re-installing it. I would try that... uninstall completely, then go back and install again from scratch. Worth a try!

Good idea Jenny

My brother was having similar youtube problems, have you run an internet speed test to see what your connection is running at? in my brothers case it was BT's fault nothing to do with his PC

If You Tube is constantly stopping and buffering them start playing it and then pause it right away, Once it has fully loaded you should then be able to play it all the way through without interruption.
