1) gOs defaults to safe screen resolutions in order to ensure your monitor cannot be damaged (older CRT monitors can be damaged if you drive them with too high settings) to be able to set a higher resolution, you need to add the screens and graphics menu, with the "main menu" menu editor, then use it to choose a monitor.
2) You mean YouTube, you need to add the Flash plugin to play flash based contents, like YouTube Flash movies. For other kinds of movies with the picture player you need to have the right codexes installed. In principle the player should get these automatically. If you have some special content encoded with a rare codex, try installing "VLC" (the "videolan" player) , it can play almost anything. Busybox is a "software swiss knife", a large collection of useful software tools in a very small package, the boot system starts it whenever it encounters a problem it can't handle, "initramfs" is "init RAM filing system", and a RAM a filings system is a filing system (like NTFS, or FAT) that runs completely in RAM, it is used by the live_CD, if the filing system fails to initialize you get a "initramfs" error. Both error situations can be cause by damaged or unreadable boot media. gOS should boot in less than a minute on a normal system, or in less than two minutes on a very slow system, with a bare minimum of RAM, if the booting takes much longer there is something very wrong with the system, or the boot system is corrupted, so it needs endless re-try's to correctly read boot data.
