Youtube....so slow to load

I have 2 fast efficient computers....one using Vista Ultimate 64 bit, one using XP home premium..... we have fast broadband....I have a problem on both computers that my YouTube channel has blank thumbnails....then they load up Very slowly.....up to 2-5 minutes.....sometimes no picture....just a red cross & title on thumbnail....I cannot play video until all thumbnails are loaded. Playing video is fine ...no problems viewing in Hi Def... no problems if I play from another link....but my channel loads chronically slow This also happens on some other websites but youtube is chronic on both computers.....using ie8 or Firefox...yet my slow dog of a computer at work running XP works fine on my youtube channel. I tried compatability mode but makes no difference...any ideas...???
