This happens on youtube, comedycentral.com, and myspace video, so far. I am
fairly certain all of these sites run their video with some flash
involvement, so the problem could be with flash, but I think it's just
because vista is a really sad, lame version of what was once the loveable XP.

Anyway most of the time when I try to view video on one of these sites, it
plays for two seconds (it's always two seconds) and then stops. This usually
happens with sound, but sometimes without. If I move the slider so I'm at a
different part of the video, it plays for about two seconds, but with no
sound, and apparently fast-forwarding.

It has worked before, and I tried restarting my computer -- after which it
worked for a short while. It may also work, at least in part, when I restart
my browser (I use firefox).

This appears to currently be affecting all flash-based programs that include
audio, and now includes actual flash videos as well.

Has anyone got the fix for this? Thanks.

You tube is indeed looked at on the .flv which is flash video.

In IE I have no problems watching these videos but it shouold be a
matter of updating your flash player version. Check on the firfox web
site in case it's a matter of reverting to an earlier version of
flash...as this might be a firefox issue rather than a Vista problem.

My Vista works wonderfuly BTW.
