My netbook refuses to load videos
Or rather, youtube videos. I've been all over the google with different question combinations can't find an answer to this specific problem. My son's friend suggested it could be that the virtual memory is too low. My son has the same netbook and has the same exact problem, Toshiba NB305 with limited Windows 7, his has limited version of XP.

3. Not really for me
I'm not a youtube person, sucks for my son, though. Thanks for your concern!

2. That's odd. I have an Acer netbook that runs videos just fine...
I suspect it's something simple, like Direct X or Flash is missing.

5. Just for fun, go to Adobe.com and update your Flash to 10.1 (or whatever is current)
Then install Adobe Shockwave for your platform.

Had the same problem with my ancient bedrooom computer and youtube a few months ago.
