Youtube video problems

[cthomas130886]

Hi There,

 

I am after a solution behind a youtube problem im having.

 

when i i am using either IE or firefox youtube will play for a second then flicker and come up with "an error occured, please try again later. Learn More"

 

I have tried different videos on youtube,. also tried everything in the learn more on youtube,. and doing a search on google for up to date info, with no avail.

 

I am running Windows 7 fully updated with IE 11 (or firefox), Adobe flash player 13.0.0.214, Java 7 Update 60.

Intel HD graphics 4000 (Version 9.17.10.2932)

 

The internet is ran through a proxy, it seems to work fine through google chrome.

 

We have other machines in school which work fine through both IE and Firefox.

 

Any more info needed let me know

 

Thanks in advance.

Is it only happening on the one machine? Could be an iffy network card. If there are multiple machines affected then I would suggest lack of bandwidth (many people using the web at the same time) - we had that quite regularly until we switched our broadband 4 months ago

This is happening across all the machine that a identical to this machines in the school. (5 IT Suites worth).

 

as for bandwith as well and a iffy network card, why would it then go and work on Chrome?

 

Reading up i believe Chrome has it own flash player built in, where as firefox & IE don't, alot of older comments ive read was when flash player 11 came out and caused problems,. but id hope that 13 would work fine.

great stuff,. this has fixed the problem,. the PC has 2 HDMI ports,. which we are using a HDMI to DVI cable so they arn't detecting any headphones or speakers plugged in. when i plug in a USB 7.1 sound adapter everything is working fine.

 

does anyone know of a registry edit or a way of tricking windows into thinking the sound is going through the HDMI?
