Every time I try to watch a music video on my computer it starts loading then it will play about 5 seconds of the video-then freeze-say it's loading again-then play 5 more seconds from where it left off. It will do this all the way through a video. Any ideas???? Thanks.

I'm assuming this happens when you stream, correct? Are you on dial-up or broadband?

Dial-up.

Dial-up. That might be the problem. The stream may be a bit more than your connection can handle.

I used to have dial-up. Does it still make all that noise while connecting?

You might try and see if you have better luck streaming the video during different hours of the day.

I used to have the same problem when I had dial-up. It sucks flatout. Do what AKA said... try it late at night when everyone's asleep or during the day when people are gone.

That noise used to drive me up the wall. Fortunately... I haven't had dial-up in almost 2 years now. :D

LOL... we didn't even get our first computer until Christmas 1999, a week before Y2K was supposed to strike. :rotflmao:

Y2K, now there's a flop for the history books.

I remember being all worried about the computer. I watched ABC's Millennium coverage all the way from Japan to here looking for problems but none ever showed up. The worst report in the U.S. was some gumball machines or something like that not working properly.
