Youtube not working with Firefox/IE.

If this isn't the right place to post, mods please move it.

Just recently I've found that I can't load youtube with Firefox and IE. It just stays on Transferring data on firefox and Waiting for youtube.com on IE. I can ping it OK.

I downloaded and installed Opera and it works there. But it turns out strange.

Can anyone help please

Nope, still not working.

Make sure Javascript is running and working. Check if flash is working. Tried reinstalling the both of them?

Yeah, I tried reinstalling them. Java works fine with other sites. Still nothing

Is there anything weird going on in your 'hosts' file, search for it and then open it with note pad and see if anything strange has been added.

Just checked it, it remains unmodified.

How do I check if Javascript is working? I don't use any addons to FF/IE.

Nazca · 22 Jan 2007 at 05:42

Javascript works it seems. Do you want me to uninstall flash?

Okay, I uninstalled Flash and reinstalled it. But it still doesn't work

It works with Opera, so I'm not sure why it doesn't work with FF/IE. I'd rather use IE/FF to browse.

Restoring the settings didn't work. I'm going to scan for viruses.

I'm free of viruses and malware.

I don't get it, it was working a week ago. I haven't changed much if anything since.

Why it works with Opera and not the other two I don't know. I really don't want to format my HD :/

Update: I haven't done anything, and it's working again!

Strange.
