General discussion

Movies and video are not played correctly.

Jul 29, 2007 8:06AM PDT

Dear members,
When ever I log on a site which has a video or a moie to play, after buffering the Video starts and goes on for five seconds then it freezes, then after a while comes back again for almost two seconds and freezes again, and goes on and on with this process,
Should there be an adjustment? If so how, or is it the modem, my operating system is XP PRO, and I use dial up as a modem.

basically it is loading the file. go on to YouTube and try and play any video. it will start to play, then it might stop and pause because it has to load more of the vid and sound. it is nothing to worry about, and i am not sure that there is an adjustment, just a faster internet connection.

hope that helped.
