We need more information. Do you mean a video you have on your computer or a video on youtube?
If it’s a video on your computer, what software are you using to play the vid?
Also, what OS? (XP, Vista, Mac…etc)
@PnL It’s probably a Pc.. hehe
its a laptop running windows vista. im talking about youtube videos.thanks
i would say make sure your browser is up to date. As well as the latest flash player installed. If they are already installed then i dunno.
Do you let the video load? As in after clicking “play”, you should pause it and let the video load for a bit (see the progress bar). This is the most obvious solution I think. What internet do you use? (Dial up, DSL, Cable…etc).
This is the progress bar I am referring to.
i have dsl. it came with windows media,is there a update i need. this laptop is only 3 months old
Media player has nothing to do with YouTube, and I advise you to remove wmp and get VLC player.
If you’re watching YouTube videos online it may be a bandwidth issue. Try resetting your DSL modem and see if that makes a difference.
