But seriously though, do you have security software on your system that's current? Obviously most people using that site haven't had this problem, but it sounds more like a problem which occurs with some brands of computer with the XP Service Pack 3 update. There's supposed to be a fix for that problem on the HP website.
Keep us informed of what you find though.

Subject: [VICUG-L] everybody stay away from youtube, that is if you want to keep your computer
Hi all,
Harry here with a huge warning!
Stay away from youtube. The address to it is:
http://www.youtube.com
I use a laptop, running windows xp home edition and jfw 9.0, and here's what happened to me yesterday. I went to youtube to look at some weather videos. Now in the past, the site worked fine, no problem!
So, I go there, and listen to 2 of them, then I got off the computer and went back there later. Well, I put a word in the text box for what subject I wanted to search for, and everything locked up, and the computer froze. No problem, I'll just start it up again. So, I did a hard shut down like I do if it happens, and turned the computer back on, and it restarted, and restarted, and restarted, over and over again. So, now it's shot.
I gotta take it in tomorrow and get it fixed.
So, folks, if you want to keep your computer working, stay the heck away from youtube, and I would also ask you all to tell everyone else to do the same, because this is one problem you all don't need, like I currently have.
Harry
