Just purchased a new laptop with Windows 7, it has 8gb memory i7 processor. This computer is brand new and any video I try to watch online, (You Tube, yahoo etc,) they are always going into buffering and videos keep stopping and starting. Are there any special settings to help this out. Also I can take my old laptop that has only 1gb of memory and an old processor and it does well, so I know it is not my internet connection or router

I can't get sound from any of the web pages I've visited. I tried to install a codec package, and it won't allow me. I am the sole user of the computer, I'm running W7 64bit with a X-Fi soundcard. All other sound works fine and it is hooked up via spdif optical link to a seperate surround sound system.
Therefore, My first question, How do I get the sound to work?
2nd question, even if is or isn't the codec issue, why won't windows update the registry with the codec installation package (1402 error). I am the administrator!

Whenever I go to a webpage and try to play games, view videos, or streaming content my system "freezes" every minute or two. I can never watch a video or play a game in its entirety without having to sit through numerous "freezes", or whatever it is. The little spinning icon just keeps going round and round.
on my computer there are two accounts- an administrator and a standard account. everything works fine on the admin account, but the standard account is having some video problems. i can view Internet fine, but if i want to watch other streamed videos it won't let me. all i get is a black square where the player is or the black box with an 'x' in the corner. it also sometimes won't let me listen to streamed songs.
i got this windows 7 computer last year and i have had these problems from day one. every site i go to just talks about looking if there are parental controls on your account. i have checked and there are no controls placed on the standard account. there really isn't any difference between the two accounts except that one is called admin and the other is a normal account. i just tried to switch my standard account to an admin one and i still couldn't get the videos to work.
I have a windows 7 64bit laptop and a window vista 64bit laptop.
I seem to be unable to view some of the videos on the windows 7 laptop but able to view those same videos on vista laptop. the error is normally "200, Stream not found, NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound, clip". Is it a settings problem as both of my laptops are installed with the same version of flash players.
I have tried to uninstall the flash player and re-install the flash player but the error still persist.
I've had my laptop since December, 2011. Brand new, customized it online on the HP website. I didn't expect it to have soo many BSOD screen crashes! And it happens at least twice a month.. I watch videos online like hulu or any other site.. and randomly the video drive or something like that will stop working the video turns a green color can't see anything and if i try to redo it.. all of a sudden the blue screen pops up with all that information.. then when i restart it i get this

My media player provides sound but when I try to listen to something on a site called oneplace or when I try and listen to news videos I get no sound. This is or a Windows 7 pc.
i have an hp dv6 entertainment pc with the intel i5 core. it has been a great laptop for the almost 2 years that i have had it but recently i have had some problems watching videos online. sometimes when i am watching videos on Internet or streaming from another site the video slows down extremely. the video doesn't even seem to move and it sounds like a super slow motion video. its like its someone has slowed down the tempo and the video is starting skip.
I have a Packard Bell iextreme with windows 7 and when I play videos it sometimes freezes, the speakers buzz and the monitor switches off. I have to force shut down. The problem comes and goes, only when playing videos, started recently. Tried updating flash, untick enable hardware acceleration, windows updates, ... still happens.

everytime i watch any online video the stream locks up on an arbitrary time (usually within a few seconds, but sometimes well into the video). refreshing the screen sometimes works, but more often than not, the video locks up at the exact same place. i've tried updating my video drivers. i've ran every scan i can think of, updated my flash player, cleaned my registry and i am totally at a loss as to why i'm having this issue. this issue happens with the vast majority of web videos i watch from netflix, hulu, Internet, you name it. this issue happens in ie and firefox. i have the latest versions of each. it was happening with previous versions as well.
i am having an issue that just appeared. when viewing you tube videos or i tunes, i get a bit of static, if i scroll at all i get major distortion. this is present for all videos i attempt to watch. i have updated itunes, as well as the latest flash version, including checking the "enable hardware acceleration" option off and on to no avail.
i have updated my sound card drivers, uninstalled and reverted to a previous version of flash, and updated my video card drivers step by step, but this did not fix the issue. initially i was getting distortion while viewing Internet and random system lock ups that required a reboot. since trying the above, i am not getting lock ups any longer, but the scrolling distortion is present. it may be my imagination, but the system seems very sluggish as well.

I'm working on an Hp pavilion elite 210y pc. It's got a lot of stuff like amd phenom II 945 quad core processor. I have windows 7 and internet explorer eight and an at&t modem hooked up directly to the computer, the status bar says it has full internet connection and the specs of that look fine but the internet is kind of slow, not my biggest concern. My main problem is that it won't play videos without making it choppy and hard to see even after a video is loaded completely it still lags and won't play correctly. Pretty much anything that is animated and over the internet is garbage; internet games, ads, even text comes up slow.
I recently installed Windows 7 on my wife's Samsung laptop (originally supplied with Vista) and generally the upgrade has been a great success. However, one constant complaint I get is that video files attached to emails are now very slow to open, whereas previously they had opened and played with no problem at all.
if so where should I look for an indication that I need to update.
I am running windows 7 and my computer has been loading online games and pages slower than usual, my online games wont load content or graphics at all but a few of them and thats it, Its frustrating because i play them everyday all day and can't now. Please help me see why my computer runs fine one week and slow next week. We checked the cpu because it was running at 100% at times. but we did all we can in the malware, spyware log section.
I am completely stumped as to why videos tend to lag & freeze my screen for 10 second intervals, aswell as cause my browser to freeze with a busy icon. I've tried everything I know to do with no progress. I've tried numerous different browsers with no luck, scanning for all bugs.as well as disabling firewalls, cycling my router/modem & making sure all of my drivers are up to date. My computer should handle everything just fine.
i am currently living in a dormitory in germany. i was given a cord to connect to the lan on the wall, as there is no free wi-fi in this dormitory. a few days ago, Internet videos and other videos played just fine, as usual. now, however, it takes 30 minutes to load 5 minutes of a Internet video. i'm not exaggerating. anything i can do? i'm wondering if it's just because there are more people in my dorm now or if i did something to my computer (which is probably unlikely since i know nothing about computers).
Would a lot of kmz files slow down my pc. Videos are very slow to open now.If not what else might I check. When I go to a website, click on a video it takes forever to load (buffer?)
I have just built a new machine i5 4gb 2 x 3tb WD ASUS p8z68 motherboard.. System works beautifully.. very nice. However, I have just installed a clean activated real copy of windows 7 home premium and when I enter the menus of Media Center. Pictures, Videos the blue "thinking" ring scrolls for 10 seconds and then enters the next menu with the Folder being displayed. In the music section, I have 2 test folders in there and it waits for 8 seconds after you press play a song! Recorded tv and guide work great. Indexing was also completed.
I've installed shark007 codec pack, now wmp plays everything, but when I try to play avi file with more than 1 audio stream, all of them bigin to play simultaneously, creating a huge mess. Am I able to choose just 1 stream in WMP as I can in media player classic, etc.?
i'm putting up my first post with my bsod error i get. i've gotten some in the past, but i decided to learn how to figure these things out this time.details:i usually get a bsod in a random situation either playing online games or just watching live streams (twitch.tv) or even Internet videos on occasion.
I have a Radeon HD5850 with a HDMI output that is plugged on my HDTV, I am using Win 7 and the last Catalyst drivers.The video is working just fine (extended desktop, I can play a movie on the TV while playing a game on my monitor on the other desktop) but I have a problem separating the audio streams.Is there a way (built in windows, ati driver or external program...) to send the audio stream of some applications (the movie basically) on the HDMI output, and the streams of other applications on my regular audio output at the same time?Usually on Win7 when you have 2 sound cards you can just set one as default, launch your program, then set the other one as default and launch the other programs and that will do the trick (the streams stay on the output that was the "default output" when they were launched). But with the HDMI of the Radeon, when I switch the default adapter, all the sound is switched..
