Windows 7 Youtube not displaying or working

[YARNOS]

Hi Team !

I am currently having some issue with trying to get Youtube videos operating on my windows 7 system for the last 4 weeks i have done some extensive investigation but have had no luck.
I have uninstalled the adobe flashplayer twices and have installed the current version:-

* 11.1.102.55 (03/Jan/2012)
* windows 7 (64 bit)

I am using IE.9.0.8112.16421


When i open the Youtube home page it doesn't display the small icon videos on the right, when i select a video i wait for approx 2 minutes and then the following error ocurrs

*** An error occured.Please try again later****

When i use my laptop that is operating windows XP or PS3 and click on the same link the video works without a problem using the same service provider.

I have changed and performed the below suggestions but still unable to make videos display:

* Deleted all cookies and browsing history
* Disable my avast firewalls (ver 6.0.1289) still no luck.
* Enabled hardware acceleration
* Disabled Active X Filtering
* Enabled SSL 2.0 , SSL 3.0 ,under internet options>advanced>Security.

If any member can provide a solution for this issue or assist whether its a Youtube problem let me know...

It seems like you are facing a frustrating issue with playing YouTube videos on your Windows 7 system using Internet Explorer 9. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve this problem: 1. Update Internet Explorer: Ensure your Internet Explorer is up to date. You can check for updates by going to the "About Internet Explorer" option in the menu. 2. Check Internet Connection: Make sure your internet connection is stable and working properly. You can try to play videos on other websites to verify this. 3. Use Compatibility View: Try using compatibility view in Internet Explorer. This can sometimes help with display issues on certain websites. 4. Check Adobe Flash Player: Despite your efforts to reinstall Adobe Flash Player, there might still be issues. You can try uninstalling it completely, then reinstall the latest version from the Adobe website. 5. Check JavaScript: Ensure that JavaScript is enabled in Internet Explorer. You can do this by going to Internet Options > Security > Custom Level and checking the JavaScript settings. 6. Try a Different Browser: Since you are experiencing this issue specifically in Internet Explorer, you can try using a different browser like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox to see if the issue persists. 7. Reset Internet Explorer Settings: You can reset Internet Explorer settings to default. This can sometimes fix various browsing issues. Go to Internet Options > Advanced tab > Reset. 8. Clear the Browser Cache: Clearing the browser cache and temporary internet files can sometimes resolve loading issues. Go to Internet Options > General tab > Browsing History > Delete. 9. Run Internet Explorer Performance Troubleshooter: Windows has a built-in tool for troubleshooting Internet Explorer performance. You can access it by going to Control Panel > Troubleshooting > View all > Internet Explorer Performance. If after trying these suggestions you are still unable to play YouTube videos on Internet Explorer, it might be worth considering alternative browsers or checking for any specific issues with YouTube itself that might be affecting playback on certain systems.
