Problem Opening You Tube Videos in Windows 7 - IE 11

I can't seem to open any You Tube Videos. It shows the commercials, but when the video starts, it goes to a black screen and reads: "An Error Occurred, Please Try Again Later."

I'm not real computer savvy, but wondered if anyone knows how to solve this or has had it happened. I do have Adobe Flash and it was recently updated.

Thanks.

You should change browsers to Chrome or FireFox. Each browser is independent. You can import you favorites into either one. https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/#eula

You should add the youtube site address to the internet explorer compatibility view. That may help. I was having a similar problem with QVC product videos not showing, went under tools in internet explorer, compatability view and was able to fix the problem there.

Hi MJ ~ i use Win7 and IE 11 also. No problems w/ Youtube. This article talks about IE 11's hang-ups with Flash sites (including Youtube).

But you and i do use the same OS and browser. If you want to give this YouTube video a try, it's Tracy Chapman Fast Car. 'Hope it works for you!

'Wish i knew enough to be of help. Take care.
