I have a fresh install on Windows XP, Firefox, and Flash player. I have installed all possible Windows XP SP3 updates.
Every time I watch a video on youtube, it plays for 1 minute, and then stops. no loading icon appears, I cant rewind it to random location: whole player is frozen. Reloading the webpage helps sometimes but on some video I couldnt make it work at all once it was frozen.
The weird thing is, youtube and everything worked flawlessly the day before, when I had my old Windows XP installation.
The only difference between my new and old setup is that I have moved program files folder to another drive (from registry). Also, my Windows partition has only 5gigs free space now. (15gigs before), and I cant really make it use less space, at least I dont know how. I tried to move (as usual) the paging file to another drive, to save some space, but the Windows partition just keeps using more space every day, (i think it added 3gigs there today), how could I stop it?
Could those be the problem?

there are a lot of fine-tuning options, of course you should not randomly change stuff if you do not know what it does.
