I am very puzzled with this - on my wife's laptop YouTube videos load
quickly and can be viewed. On my home computer on the same router, I very
often see no videos from YouTube being loaded - just that circle telling me
to wait.

I naturally assumed it was a setting in IE7 that somehow is blocking this
.... or not? I've also looked at my firewall settings and lowered it. I am
out of ideas. Suggestions? Thanks, DH

My wife's car is so much faster than mine...and we drive on the same
highway.

With no further details the best you can hope for is an educated guess.
I'll make two guesses:

1- YouTube uses Flash. Is Flash installed on your computer?
2- Has your security software blocked Flash or in another way blocked
content from YouTube?

Leonard, After I posted here I went to YouTube's Help site (which I should
have done to begin with I guess) and followed their instructions to remove
Flash, reboot, and install the latest version. There are still some videos
that won't load on my 'tower' but will load on my wife's laptop, but I'm not
seeing error messages and loading many more videos. Problem improved if not
yet solved.

Thanks, DH

Sometimes all you need to do is to clear TIF.
