Hello: For about 2 month or so now, I have been having great difficulty watching any kind of tv episode (from either Hulu or ABC, etc. or even YouTube.) on my computer. While I do get both picture and sound, they are extremely choppy and difficult to watch/hear. The picture stops about every 3 seconds. I have had my computer for about 5 or so years now but this is seemingly a fairly new occurrence. Actually, I think I am starting to see a choppiness even in the little ads that sometimes play on the internet. Can someone please give me some information as to how to fix this.

BTW, The computer I am using has an AMD Athlon XP 2400 +'
Thanks
RKR

Any more info about your PC hardware? Can you play videos offline? What's the speed of your internet service? (try http://www.speedtest.net/)

It could be a number of things. Try downloading the latest Flash and Java software.

Receiving the video requires that you have the proper amount of space needed to load the video temporarily. The video will be loaded in to your Web Cache. If this area is full, the video will be slow streaming. To clear the web cache

1. Quit Internet Explorer, Firefox, or any other web browser
2. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Internet Options.
3. On the General tab, click Delete Files under Temporary Internet Files.
4. In the Delete Files dialog box, click to select the Delete all offline content check box , and then click OK.
5. Click OK.

Hope this helps!
