Anyone w/ a dinosaur PC not getting YouTube?
Hi all...
I know YoutTube is ending their Windows XP support soon, but have they ended it already? I came home and couldn't get YouTube, so I cleared my cookies. No dice. The site is still coming up, and I can see thumbnails for people's videos, but when I try to play them it won't work. The notice is still saying soon, not that they already ended it, so what's going on?
Anyone else w/ an old PC (that can't support Windows 7 or Vista) having this problem?

Its still working on mine. I have Xp also. Maybe something on your browser got disabled? Do you have Explorer 8 installed? If that doesnt work try installing firefox. Firefox is a very good browser.
BTW, I havent seen anything about ending support for XP, just Explorer 7.
That notice only appears on my old PC w/ Windows XP, not my laptop w/ Windows 7. I really don't like watching videos on a laptop. W/ my older PC it's kinda like watching on a small TV set. I've cleared my cookies and restarted my PC and still nothing.

Hmmmm....
Your system will eventually receed to the point it can't run updates; especially on media or nerd heavy sites. Like youtube. I run XP and get youtube fine, but my system is only a couple years old so it can run updates. (Remember: Windows Update does a scan of your system and won't put up stuff you can't run.)

But I'm still getting Hulu. This doesn't make any sense.

Welcome to the wonderful world of computers. It's possible that one uses an update module the other doesn't; so one can be read by your system, one not.
It's planned obsolescence; sites like youtube are always adding features to increase user value, but each round of features is based on the current system; so eventually you get squeezed out.
