Do you have the stupid Google Web Accelerator? If so, then dump it, burn it,  rash it, disable it, get rid of it, uninstall it -- do everything you can to get as far away from it as possible. Trying to bypass GWA with "Don't Accelerate this Website" will not help you whatsoever. That being said.....

If YouTube is slow or stuck, and you get advice from people to install, change or update things:....DON'T. Your computer and YouTube were working perfectly fine before, right?

It's never a good idea to go fooling around with java scripts, firewall settings, flash players, antivirus utilities, registries, pop-up blockers, different browsers, or things like that.

The first and best option should ALWAYS be: don't disable, erase, uninstall, separate, alter, download, install or change anything. Doing those will only make matters worse for you. (Of course, you should get rid of GWA.)

You should also keep in mind that YouTube frequently shuts down many of its servers without telling anybody, in order to update stuff. If that's the case, your problem should correct itself within a few hours or by the next day.

Whenever YouTube seems stuck or displays strange things, empty your cache of all "temporary internet files", "cookies" and "history". Things will probably be okay afterwards.

If you're not sure how to do this, or if you want extra tips on how to make YouTube run even faster (all without having to install, buy or change anything), then click on my avatar and email me. I will lead you through "cache" clearing and my other tips in easy English with full explanations.
