I have had a problem on my laptop were alot (8/10) videos from Youtube, embedded or on the site directly would come up with the dreaded "We're sorry, this video is no longer available" error. It was most frustrating because it obvious that the video was still available and the error occurred in Firefox, Chrome and IE while my gaming rig would connect without any problems.
Error would still occur after I cleared the cache on all browsers, ran CCleaner and rebooted.
I updated my flash to what was then a beta version and updated again when it was released (10,0,12,36), still no joy.
Here are couple of fixes that I found online :
Turn off Google Web Accelerator , this is a caching proxy that will supposedly speed up your browsing from google. Not relevant to me as I've never had it installed.
Uncheck "Automatically Detect Settings" in Internet Properties/Connections/Lan settings . Again not relevant as I have this turned off from the start for every Windows install I do.
So today I finally had enough. After diagnosing the problem using Tcpview , I noticed that the page load from youtube had a lot of unconnected end points, this immediately made me realise I had applied the tcpipsys-hard-limit-removal patch to my gaming / server pc, but not my laptop. A quick stop at half-open.com , install and reboot and the problem is history :)
Please leave comments if this does or does not work for you.
