YouTube upload causes freeze-up.

[MikeP]

When I try to upload a movie clip to YouTube, it gets to 79% (never more, never less) and then it stops.

It doesn't just stop the upload, it stops my internet connection too. Or at least it seems to freeze it.

If I check on the Forum for instance, the page is there but if I try to click on a thread the loading symbol comes up but nothing happens. I don't get a prompt to reconnect or a "page not found" prompt.

If I disconnect the connection, I cannot reconnect without re-booting the PC.

I'm running the latest version of Firefox, Avast anti-virus and that's about it.

Any ideas?

Have you tried to defrag and run a system cleanup on your pc?

I've just uploaded something to youtube ok....went quick....maybe your cache is full or you tried doing it at the wrong time of day

give it another bash and if it doesn't work you need to give your machine a thorough spring clean as Mikepg says

Have you run out of ram, too many processes running at the same time, you can disable them on your task Manager, so reducing your Cache!
