As far as youtube crashing your computer, if it's XP, I'd do the following:

1)Reinstall/Update DirectX:

2)Download ZoomPlayer

When you install, make sure to run the "install center", and install every option.

3)Uninstall/Reinstall (or just install) Firefox web browser (you may have to later install plugin for macromedia/adobe flash ---just click ok if you see the program ask)

4)Download VLC Player

On install, make sure "plugins for firefox", etc. are checked.

These steps should be are a general fix for most codec/plugin probs....

Thanks for the very accessible technical setup instructions. I'll give this a try.
