Might be because of not enough Video RAM/ RAM ?? YT SUX on my laptop, but works fine on my server. Laptop is 512 Meg Ram, 1 GHz Proc with 16 Meg of RAM shared for the video. Server is 1.4 GHz proc, 1 GB RAM & 64 Meg Video RAM

You running WFW 3.1 on Dos 5.0?

512 won't even load the W2K (and relations) boot kernel.

1 GB is the ENTRY point for a end user machine -- and about 1/3 what a server needs.

Also, the "server" is on a small home network, so it's not like it's tasked very hard. It has an old Abit KT-7A RAID board in it. It will only hold 2 GB of RAM, anyways. I could use a better video card. IF you have one you care to donate...... It's AGP ;)

To answer the original question, ytimg is probably the video server. I can't tell you why it freezes on your end. It almost always freezes on my laptop, but never on my "server".

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Yeah, OK.........  :whatever:

These work just fine....... I have a newer one that has a 2.4 GHz Proc but can't afford some more RAM or afford a copy of XP. I might throw Ubuntu on it, though.

What happened here?

I was sure MY question was a response to someone else's question on why YT doesn't work for them...

How in the hell did it morph this way?

I split it off and moved  it as it was not germane to the OP.

Sorry, perhaps I'm dense, (but I don't think so). I fail to understand how a YouTube problem is really germane to the post, other than the post  referenced YT. At best, it's tangential to the post, but even that's pushing it.
