on any network there are viedos to watch,news, weather,ect. when I click to play the viedo it loads plays,freezes for a few minutes then plays again,then freezes again. Is it the network or a problem with my pc?
Sounds to me like the video is being buffered and then played. Sometimes I have noticed that some videos I watch will download a little and play some, then download more and play etc....
It is really annoying but happens sometimes. However I may be wrong all together.
With so little to go on, it's hard to say for sure, but I agree it sounds like normal buffering. If you have a slow Internet connection, or are saturating it with things like file sharing programs, then this is going to happen.
Of course you failed (twice) to provide much in the way of useful details, so this is just a guess based on what little information you did provide. It could be something completely different, but who knows with so little to go on.
I've experienced this watching music video from YouTube like sites overseas. I remembered pressing the START icon every time it paused to resume the video until the end, then press START again. The second time through, it played through smoothly. I think the reason was that the whole file was cached in my ISP's servers after I played the whole thing through, so my ISP(much closer to me) can serve up the video from it's cache the second time around.
Depending on you PC's configuration, more memory and a large Virtual Memory (2.5 times installed memory) would have from your end.
