I have 2 fast efficient computers....one using Vista Ultimate 64 bit, one using XP home premium..... we have fast broadband....I have a problem on both computers that my YouTube channel has blank thumbnails....then they load up Very slowly.....up to 2-5 minutes.....sometimes no picture....just a red cross & title on thumbnail....I cannot play video until all thumbnails are loaded. This also happens on some other websites but youtube is chronic on both computers.....yet my slow dog of a computer at work running XP works fine on my youtube channel. I tried compatability mode but makes no difference...any ideas...???

The red cross suggests a Java problem. Check to see that your Java is the most recent incarnation, and if it is, you might want to uninstall and reinstall it. It's pretty simple to do, and instructions are on the Java website. Fixing Java may help your other problems as well.
