ArabiaTerra Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Recently my PC has been refusing to play youtube videos. The video starts and then stops at 2 secs and there is no sound. No amount of starting and stopping helps and if you move the slider it just plays 2 secs then stops again. Any ideas anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtothet Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 this exact thing happened to me for ages. and drove me absoloutely crazy. eventually i stopped being lazy and hit google for a half hour before i found the solution. and youll be happy to know that i cant remember what it was at all. id say go for the basics first: reinstall flash player, shockwave and upgrade java.

Pooks Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Yup, usually the Flash Player gone wonky somewhere. Reinstall from Adobe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HacksawDuggan Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 This happened to me a few times. I found that simply restarting Firefox cured it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jz Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I've had similar problems - how many tabs do you have open? Not sure why, but having only one tab open can solve the problem for me. It's not guarenteed, though, and I can't see why closing tabs should work. BTW, I use Opera for browsing most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
