Also, try the FLASH DISABLE HARDWARE ACCELERATION setting (find with google.)

Your prior posts seem to indicate your laptop has hardware issues.

If you want faster internet and faster videos you should, use open dns or google DNS server, just search youtube. Another thing you can do is go into task manager and select the the processes and find your internet browser and make its priority HIGH. Also make sure to always delete your cookies and use winsock FIX occasionally, just search google for winsock (your version of windows) and there will be a .exe file that you can run. These are all the tricks I know, to making your internet experience more enjoyable. I am glad that somebody got that nasty problem out of the way, but this will make VEVO videos NEVER BUFFER!
