Youtube not streaming

[yogatta]

I had this problem since couple of days ago. Everytime i played a clip on youtube, it doesn't start streaming automatically. yet it downloads the whole clip while it's loading, then it plays. it is supposed that the clip plays simultaneously after i clicked. i don't understand why this thing is happening. i tried reinstalling Adobe flash player, but it doesnt solve. does anyone have answer to my problem?

What happens if you click the Play button, hit pause and let it download a little further and then click Play again?

It will hang and nothing happen, I guess. Because I also have this issue when I was using XP. I tried to fix this problem that time for couple of days which at the end, I gave up.

But things that I learned were:
1. it only happened if I downloaded files from rapidshare prior the streaming. If I did not download anything from rs, all my streamings in 1 login session would have no problem.
2. the only fix was to reboot windows
3. the audio/video only play-ed after the browser had finished streaming until the end, as mentioned
4. plug/unplug lan cable would not help

is yours the same case with mine?

You can try playing the clip after you disable your antivirus as some antivirus scans the entire clip before it is played. If possible try disabling only the web scanning part of antivirus rather than disabling the whole real time protection. I also had similar issues when using KIS or BIS.
