xp home freezing

Hi- I've noticed that xp home has been freezing up when i try to run video on you tube. After the video freezes so does xp. When i re boot everything runs as it should until i try to run a second video again. Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance- Chas

Have you cleaned out your temp files, and temp internet files?

Have you tried a different browser?

Is it just youtube, or any flash video site?

So not all the videos on youtube will make it freeze?

If that's the case, then I would just assume it was them having some problems. Try them again in a few days.
