[Mysteriously Resolved] Streaming flash videos in windows 7

I can't view streaming videos that use flash player in windows 7. I recently installed Windows 7 64-bit on my computer. Now I can't watch videos on sites like youtube, hulu, etc.
Youtube says, "an error occurred please try again later"
Hulu says, " sorry this video is currently unavailable"

I have tried using Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Firefox. All fail with the same messages. All browsers have flash player 10 installed. All browsers can play all flash content *except* streaming content like that found on youtube.

Other computers on my network can play videos on those sites fine. My computer used to be able to play videos on those sites when I was running vista. My computer doesn't have any proxy stuff configured.

I have tried uninstalling flash player and installing it again. I have tried restarting my computer. I have tried clearing the browser cookies and cache in the browsers. Nothing has had any effect on the problem.

I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas or if anyone has had any experience with this issue on windows 7 64-bit.

Check the adobe website for the latest flash updates maybe there is one for Win 7.

I already installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled the most recent version of flash player.


I would like to know if anyone is running windows 7 64-bit and is actually able to view youtube videos.

Alright, well... it is working now. I swear, I didn't do anything at all, it just started working. I am not and was not intoxicated.
