Laptop won't connect to Youtube - wtf?

    Hey all,

    Been having a problem for the last few days where I can't get onto Youtube.
    I'm using ie 7 with Vista. It says 'Connecting' then after a few mins just stops trying, no error message or anything.
    I also find it hard to load MySpace.

    My boyfriend can get on no problem on his laptop using our net connection.

    Anyone any idea what's wrong?

    Thanks!

    Clear your temporary files/cache.

    Ok, I have cleared my temp internet files and restarted. Seems to work now.
    What's a cache?

    Do you know why it wouldn't work before?

    Oh and thanks so much!

    IE justs stores the pages and information for quick viewing later without having to download them again. Might have just become corrupted. Clearing the cache and internet files fixes many such problems.

    A cache is where the temporary files are held, kind of the same thing. Could have been something not downloaded properly.

    /edit much the same as what Ruu said.

    Hmm, it was working a minute ago but it's not working anymore.I only got to see one video then when I did a new search it went funny again.

    Edit: Got it working again after it taking a few mins to load. Grr.
