tech help- youtube loading slow

[ram29jackson]

I dont know if its because I messed with the pop up blocker or something in view downloads or the uninstall-reinstall of adobe flash...but for some reason earlier today youtube videos wouldnt load

and on the youtube page i got a redish brown bar at the top saying i needed the latest version..I finally figured out that when I unchecked the box next to active x controls in the safety category on my menu bar that that red-brown box that said I needed new adobe would not be there anymore.

Ive done a system restore but youtube still loads slow.

any ideas or help,please ?

Re-download the latest version of flash and your browser and then uninstall both of them and reinstall with the latest versions. It's most likely a conflict between parts of your browser having one version of flash integrated in it already and the fact that you don't have that version of flash on your computer anymore. It's best to wipe both slates clean and reinstall the latest.

It's likely that 80s music. All of that whiny, hairspray-and-eye-makeup, stretchy pants footage has finally taken it's toll.

Um...son, I am 38 and grew up in the 80s. I like some music from that decade, it's just not of the whiny variety. ;)

So,.... I did that thing where you clean up the C drive without erasing anything (takes forever) and that seemed to speed up most of my computer again.

but the youtube videos will load like 20-30 percent of the way and then do it slowly, but stop loading when i stop the video...?

and now my photobucket page takes forever if ever to load...did i mess with a pop up or ad setting ?

You probably need to run a spyware cleaning program and some type of antivirus stuff:

Like Spybot Search and Destroy (http://www.spybotupdates.com/files/spybotsd162.exe) and AVG Antivirus (http://download.cnet.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition-2012/3001-2239_4-10320142.html?part=dl-avg_free_us&spi=6be50d5a6fe3616bcd61aa7c984424de).

Both are COMPLETELY free and work better than the pay shit. Just make sure when you go to install AVG, you choose to install the free version of it instead of the 30 day trial that they swindle computer illiterate people to do because they aren't paying attention to what they are installing.
