i'd really love some help

ok, so i have windows XP, runs fine, does everything it's supposed to, but when i try to watch streamed videos on youtube or w/e it never shows a video, just a white space where the box should be.

i tried some of the methods i found on this site to fix the problem, i updated flash player, fiddled with the custom security settings to try and make sure nothing was in it's way

idk what's up, i use IE7 i believe, but no other browser will work either. anyone know what to do?

Does this happen to every video? Or does it sometimes work?

Choose any Youtube video, open it, and hold down CTRL+F5 for a few seconds. Wait, work? Try again. If on the second try, nothing happens, we can rule IE7's crazy Flash management out.

i tried the CTRL F5 thing, nothing happened but a really long refresh time. also the box for the video seemed larger. but that's just me.

it happens when ever i open a page the streams video. myspace can't disply certain ads either. kind of thankful for that though..... lol
