Just about to give up on IE6

I love to listen to music and lately I have discovered the wonders of
YouTube,problem is,IE6 very,very frequently gives me the message:Sorry,this
is not available anymore.
Now,I downloaded Firefox and I can see All of these supposedly "unavailable"
videos!
I have the latest windows updates and my settings back to Default,to no
avail......

Any tips appreciated,thanks!

That isn't necessarily the same thing. E.g. if Flash was involved
you would be using a Netscape plugin with Firefox and an ActiveX
extension with IE. So, then, depending on how the client side
was making its requests one explanation for your symptom
would be that you might have had Flash ActiveX broken or disabled.

Use a specific example and work out its details
to refine your symptom description.

Also, try alternate methods of using YouTube with IE,
such as copying the URL and then using that directly.
Etc.


Good luck

firefox all the time.

Thanks for the responses,I have got "my" solution (from a guy at MS):

"In IE7 (IE6 is not in Vista) Tools => Options => Connections tab => Lan
Settings

Make sure there are no check marks in any boxes. Note: this assumes you are
on a home network not using a proxy server. Some AV programs also change
these settings."

That worked for me!
Regards

Alberto
