Ran that program, for both 32 and 64 bit, nothing found, DirectX drivers look to be up to date.

Update.....I took one of my laptops that has the youtube problems I'm talking about over to a friends house, it didn't have the problems I'm talking about, watched several of the videos with problems and they all ran fine, he is on a different ISP then I am.(satellite provider)

So it may be related to my ISP, I'm going to talk with them today and see what the heck is up.

Update, I found the problem, after talking with a tech from my ISP, we located the problem, it was an update to the DVR software that runs my video surveillance cameras,(came as a bundle) the update was around the time of the start of the problems with YouTube, I went back one step with the software for that program, (after talking with the software provider) and it hasn't done it since.

I turned off the auto update function for that system, and have downgraded (one step back) all connected PC's and laptops that use that software, the software provider is looking into what may be the problem.

Now I wonder why they didn't get reports from other users of this DVR software......Hummmmm.

And the testing at my friends house worked OK as he doesn't have a video security system, so the software I use never activated.(no signals from any cameras)

Many thanks to all that replied and helped out.
