Hello,
On my old Netbook, which is still serviceable and doing its job, and which is running on XP SP3 without any problems, all of a sudden YouTube refuses to run. Instead, I get an error message - in Chrome "No Data received" and ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE, ERR_TIMED_OUT / in Internet Explorer "Web page can not be displayed" (similar kind of messages in sites with a YouTube link, like FaceBook).
So, one thing is clear: it's not a problem specific to Chrome but to a relation between my Netbook and YouTube.
Please note that someone working on a computer next to me and using the same router has no problem whatsoever loading YouTube clips.
Except for routine maintenance, I did not change anything particular in the Netbook configuration. The problem, as said, occurred all of a sudden, without warning.
After being confronted with the problem, I tried all solutions suggested in various Internet sites for what is apparently a well known and oft occurring error 234 - although it's the first time in my long experience I encounter it!
These solutions include rebooting, restarting the modem, emptying the browsers caches, disabling add-ons and extensions, scanned the computer for viruses, even updating Java (which curiously says it doesn't support XP anymore and recommends to update the OS to Win 8).
Nothing helps. Very frustrating. So, who can help?
Thanks
