Video playback freezes..

[darthvader619]

When I play videos, on Youtube, Google video, WMP, Quicktime, anything, it plays for a bit, then freezes. It doesn't unfreeze, it stays frozen until I click fast forward or something.

It isn't internet problems for the online ones, the video is usually fully buffered before it starts freezing.

Any help appreciated.

Is this using 1 browser, or multiple browsers?

Well this happens on firefox, I don't even use IE. It happens on WMP too.

Have you got the latest flash player installed? Or tried reinstalling it?

 

[darthvader619]

Yes, several times. I have no idea on what the problem is.

Same thing happens to me on FF. Go to the same video on IE and it works. Give IE a shot and see if that helps.

When I view a video in IE, it says flashplayer isn't installed, but it is.

Also happens in WMP, and quicktime.

I have the same problem. I donno how to fix it either I was told it could be my videocard. But if this is what happens to you then it is same problem. I open a video file in WMP and it will play but when I hit stop or close it, it freezes until either I wait awhile(I mean long while) or it would be faster to just restart.

It might be my video card, I haven't installed the drivers for it yet.
