    Grrrrrrr this is the worst kind of problem!! Something totally ridiculous and unexplicable. :mad: :( :crying: Makes me want to tear my hair out...

    Here it is: every youtube video I try to watch plays the first 0:02 (2 seconds) and then freezes! And that's it. This started happening randomly I think like a week ago. I have no idea what other events are correlated with it. I don't remember making any system changes, and it never did this before. I can go to other sites and watch videos, and they work perfectly fine... So this doesn't make any sense, why does my $&!*(%&!%(!*!%()~! computer not like YouTube all of a sudden???

    oh my goodnesss.... okay, so I thought it was solved, but now this problem keeps happening again!! :smash:

    Basically, every time I reinstall flash player, the problem disappears. But then after a while it comes back! And then I have to reinstall flash again. And I think this happens eventually even when I don't turn off or restart the computer at all (often times I just hybernate it at the end of each session).

    Why does it keep doing that to me?? :crying:
