Youtube Mess?

[exo_doc]

This has nothing to do with the paranormal, I just wanted to know if anyone else is having problems with Youtube?
For several weeks now every time I try to watch something the vid plays for a couple of minutes, then cuts straight to the end and won't replay.
But the biggest problem is the 4 smaller screens on the left that play commercials....after a few seconds of main vid play....all those screens start playing commercials....all at once! It becomes a garbled mess.
There's no contact or link to report problems that I can find - which should be against the law......

Anyway, anyone else having probs or knows what the prob is?

Make sure your flash plugin and your browser are up to date. If they are try uninstalling your flash plugin and reinstalling. If still doesn't work you may have do a fresh install of your browser and plugin(s). I use windows 7 and firefox and ocassionaly the flash plugin caused crashes. I reinstalled everything fresh last week and have had no problems since. What platform, OS and browser do you use? I can help if you use Firefox.
One other thing, sometimes a flash update can cause stability issues, it happened to me months ago. I had to remove flash and install an older version manually, and used that for a few months until adobe corrected the issue.

Nope, I've not had that. My only problem with YT is the a-holes who started commercialising it. I remember pre-ads and I hate them now. Some of them force you to watch 30 seconds of a commercial, so I minimise it until I can skip. I am not gonna even look at the damn ads.

Thanks for the help Rob..and I hate to bug you with this, but I'm trying to uninstall Adobe to reinstall it, but it will not continue until I close something called "gplayer". I've searched through all my programs and files and cannot find anything listed as "gplayer". Any ideas?
And THANK YOU for the help!

Gods I hate those too. Just someone's way to make more money.

This should do the trick. I'll check back throughout the day to see if you solved it.

look at the rocks on the bill - now imagine the ferns on the left are a waving hand, and you get a 'Robby the Robot' type of look!

Yep. To quote Robert Laughlin: "Advertising is fun's evil twin."

Exo: Glad to help. Gives me warm fuzzy feeling inside.

Goggs:
Altaira Morbius: Where have you been? I've beamed and beamed.
Robby: Sorry, miss. I was giving myself an oil-job.

Exo: To get rid of the ads on youtube install The addon: Addblock Plus. You'll then see a red stop sign button somewhere on your browser. If you click on it you'll see a few options to turn it on or off for the website you're on. I disable it for this site and few others, but it works great on youtube.
