Can't access Youtube

Bookworm · Post by **Bookworm** » Mon Jun 01, 2009 1:19 am

Do you know of anything that would prevent a computer from playing Youtube videos? I can get to the Youtube site, but when I click on a video to play, I get an error message. It says, "An error occurred, please try again later." That happens every time.

How long has this been happening? Is it just the video that doesn’t load, or is it also the comments, information box, etc.?

(I just viewed a video without problems.)

It's been happening for quite a while. The comments page loads up fine, but the error message is on the box where the video should be playing.

What version of Flash does this page say you have installed? You could try uninstalling Flash and reinstalling the latest version.

It says "You have version 10,0,22,87 installed" which looks like it's the most current version.

Did you try uninstalling it and then reinstalling it?

(Adobe, what’s up with those commas?)

I just tried that, but it still doesn't work.

Then I tried to sign in, and I got this message which replaced the whole Youtube page:

No problem.

I wonder why YouTube didn’t just ignore your cookie if it was invalid.

Bad coding.

Guess Google pays more then Microsoft, and is getting some X-Microsoft people.
