I just logged onto YouTube and none of the videos will play. All it shows is a black rectangle where the video would be. Anyone else experiencing this, or could it be an issue with my computer???

    Works fine for me. It most likely has something to do with your computer.

    Try updating your flash player, that's something that usually works for me.

        I heard YouTube's been having problems with Chrome. Update your flash and maybe try another browser.

          I just tried it with Internet Explorer and it's not even letting me sign into my YouTube account. Also when I click on a video, it doesn't open...the page just reloads. Must be an issue with YouTube if it won't work with neither browser I have (Chrome and IE).

                  That's the fix for everything when you ask the IT department at my job a question.

                  Me: I keep getting this over flow error.
                  $10 an hour IT guy: Restart your computer.
                  Me: I did that.
                  $10 an hour IT guy: I don't know, prolly a server issue, email (manager that knows a lot about computers, but will not teach anyone anything because he wants the company to keep him around).

                            My other solution, your monitor needs to be refreshed. Pick it up and shake it. That should do the trick.

                                What the hell? Now I'm getting a blank screen on youtube videos through Internet Explore. Fire Fox works fine, but IE doesn't. It's doing it on both the 64 bit and 32 bit versions. I have the newest 32 bit version. The 64 bit is still in beta. I'll play with it and see if I can figure it out.

                                Uninstalled, reinstalled and rebooted, stilling doing it. It works fine on my desktop.

                                Edit: Found the fix. Delete temporary internet files.

                                  Well, it's acting up on Firefox now. And I have no idea where the temp. files are on my computer for the program.
