Unable to view videos ,news clips and feeds of any kind.HELP

by DAFONDA Jul 17, 2007 1:46PM PDT

When I log on to a website of any kind and try to view a video I can't.It reads bufferring and stops bufferring.I can hear sound and it stops I can see the video and it stops.It will start up again and stop.It takes 5 minutes to view a 30 second clip.
Someone told me to defrag my system.Did that,didn't work.
I had my laptop serviced a few months ago for a non-related issue.The motherboard was wiped clean of course.Think that has anything to do with it?
I don't care how it happened I just want it fixed.This is very frustrating.HELP ...PLEASE!

"Laptop serviced"? what do you mean by that and who did it?

Suggest you also ask whoever 'serviced' your laptop?
