YOUTUBE VIDEOS WONT LOAD - Here is the ULTIMATE FIX!

ALOT of people just like me are having problems with Youtube videos (or some videos) not loading.

This have been terrorizing me for months now!! Now I FINALLY found the PERFECT SOLUTION to this problem!

( THIS FIX WORKS FOR BOTH Internet Explorer AND Mozilla Firefox)

______________________________________________________________

First of all, I´ve tried EVERYTHING on the web for fixing this problem, such as:

* Installed, uninstalled, reinstalled, repaired, disabled, enabled every thinkable browser plugin like Realplayer, Flash, Shockwave, Active X, Java, HTML5 etc.

* Cleaned browsing catch, history etc etc.

* Tried fixing the registry and messed around with the compability view in the browsers. And specific site plugin views.

This is just a couple of things I´ve tried that DIDN´T WORK!

HERES HOW TO FIX IT:

1. DONT mess with RealPlayer, cause it doesnt have ANYTHING to do with Youtube at all!

If u dont have it installed already, DONT install it! Cause u dont need it, and it just loads a lot of crap in ur computer.

2. Install: Microsoft SilverLight - Download it from this link: http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx

SilverLight helps media browsing in the web browsers, so its ESSENTIAL that u install it!

3. Download and install Flash Player. Get it here: Link Removed

4. Download and install Shockwave Player. Get it here: Link Removed

5. Download Jave and install it. Get it here: http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp

6. Restart ur browser and check that ALL these Add-ons are ENABLED.

In Internet Explorer 10: Tools - Manage Add-ons - Toolbars and Extensions - Enable these plugins if they are Disabled.
