  Question: when did you last 'optimize' browser? I have the following url ( settings manager07.html ) loaded to my bookmark toolbar in Dragon. I check it daily and frequently find an annoying YouTube cookie appearing, allotting itself 10 kb to ???. 

  If you go to the Flash settings URL noted above and navigate to Website Storage settings, you'll see this screen: 

  Leave the WGT setting alone, at your preference. Either hilite and delete the s.ytmg (and any other non-WGT site), or ... based on a bit of web research just now, do what I've done: set its allowed storage to zero, and tick the Never Ask Again box. 

  I'll report back if that doesn't solve the occasional loading issue. In general I don't use Dragon for general purpose browsing; it's reserved for Game play and secure transactions like banking. 

  The nice thing about making the Flash settings site a bookmark is, if I'm experiencing loading issues during play, I can open another Dragon tab or window and take care of the offending site without touching the WGT game client window. A number of times, it's saved me from the dreaded '3 dis-conns and you've forfeited' loss!

  Reset your ISP connection. Unplug the power to the modem for 30 seconds.

  Have you installed any new programs of late ? Check your background processes by typing msconfig in your startmenu/search field. See whats running or loading at startup if you have.

  Your always welcome ....see I am not all bad LOL

  What YJ states is also a solution if indeed its your internet bogging you down. The easiest way to check if it is your internet is to do a speed test and see if your download/upload speeds are performing normally.

  If they are not then doing what YJ states will fix that issue 90% of the time. Or you can do what WGT suggests and clear your cache :)
