    Or lack thereof such rather

    What is the craic with it?

    I mean really

    Im aware of 2 computer rooms outside the engineering block that have the latest version with youtube viewing capabilities. I consider this a breach of human rights and am willing to take my frustration to the UN or to the relevant person who is in charge of that sort of thing round here, whichever is easier.

    Anyone have any idea whom he/she may be?

    It'll work fine if you delete the browsing history.

    I have flash 9 and youtube works fine (Except most vids keep stopping,starting,etc) I think its due to the HIGH BITRATE the files are being streamed at (Over 1000k which is ridiculous FOR FREE CONTENT!)


    Good luck buddy :)

    Quickest way around it is to download and install Chrome Portable to your H drive.
    You could choose Firefox portable either if you prefer, but that requires a step or 2 more. If you're techie enough to have a preferred browser the latter is no problem though :)

    When I get the Computer Society up and running I intend to get a few tutorials online!

    Yeah, I've installed chrome portable on my H drive already, works perfectly. One of the lads did the same but had problems using an extension, can't remember which.
