I recently installed AIM, then uninstalled it. Since then, YouTube doesn't work. I can navigate around the site, but all videos are stuck on the loading screen. <br> <br> I've tried everything I can think of: <br> <br> - restarting<br> - turning off Windows Firewall and Norton Antivirus worm protection etc. <br> - unintalling and reinstalling Adobe Flash<br> - disabling GreaseMonkey and AdBlock<br> - reinstalling Firefox<br> - trying it in IE and Opera<br> <br> Nothing works. <br> <br> Flash video player works fine on other video sites, such as nytimes.com and devilducky.com. Other movie sites like apple.com/trailers work fine.<br> <br> Any help? Thanks in advance. post:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.90154 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 20:13:27 -0800 incandescentman youtube flash video player http://ask.metafilter.com/90154/YouTube-videos-stuck-on-the-loading-screenhow-do-I-fix#1323808 I fixed the problem by disabling Google Web Accelerator.
