browser crashes in windows 7 when watching video on youtube

[Coolestman]

Hi guys, I have installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 on my pc and it seems that it hates youtube. The streaming video on youtube makes the browser crash in Windows 7 everytime if I try to watch video. I have tried Mozilla firefox, internet explorer 8 and opera and all of them crash without any reason. Previously it used to work fine on Windows XP. What could be the issue here. Thanks for any information.

Can you please tell us the make and model of you computer? Have you installed any graphic card? Are the video drivers fully updated and installed correctly? Have you tried to install any codec pack or some good video softwares like VLC media Player, just to ensure video encoding support.

I think that you havent installed adobe flash player that supports online media streaming. For this download and intall the latest version of Flash player that you can get either on the adobe site or from here:

Download Adobe Flash Player 10.1.51.45 Pre-Final/ Adobe Flash Player 10.0.32.18
Download Adobe Shockwave Player 11.5.2.602
Download Macromedia Flash Player 7.0

Usually, I like to surf the web on Opera browser and its even wierd to me that I havent touched my IE8 that came preinstalled works fine streaming the youtube videos. In any case, I would suggest you to get opera and at the time of streaming video from youtube you will be given an automatic suggestion to install the flash player plug in to stream the youtube videos, so just install it and have fun.
