The solution depends on the way you open the music video, i.e. which technology, is it online or a file on the system. Here's a solution \n\n(1) If it is a file, you might be getting a codec error, which can be fought by installing a suitable codec. You can also play the video using VLC player, it contains most of the codecs preloaded. You can download it at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/\n\n(2) If it is am online service, shut off the pop up blockers for a while. Yahoo music videos sometimes have a problem with firefox. In that case, open the videos in Internet Explorer

Sounds like youre not waiting for the video to load and the buffer doesnt catch up with the playing. Try waiting for the page to load before playing a video.

I would run my system tools - ScanDisk, Disk Cleanup, and Defragging.\nAlso, you may have a browser conflict and Hijack This might help resolve this.\nYou said it often happens when you are watching movies. I think this is common when watching video files as the bytes are received in packets and even with ADSL, the videos are erratic.\nGood Luck

I have seen this problem with the Firefox browser. I think its has to do with Flash Player. The newest version (Flash 9) may be the problem.\nTry using Flash 8.\nSome people have also fixed the problem by re-installing realplayer.

I use windows media player but you can also use quicktime or other things like that

It sounds like you need more Memory, or maybe a faster internet connection.  Videos take a LOT of bandwidth, and the feeds have to buffer the content before it can play.  If they are loading up, and then stop or lose their sound, you may need to either increase your virtual memory or increase the amount of RAM.

This is a limitation of the Server from where you are downloading the video. There's not much you can do about it if your connection is known good.

It depends which version you're using. This happened to me when I was using version 3. Quite annoying! I found it quite difficult to fix. The only way I could do it was by uploading and then re-cutting the original video file at the points that needed fixed.

in the settings of the media player (probally quicktime), tell it to buffer the entire clip before playing, this will help bring this problem down to a minimum or not at all.

If the video is on say c:&#92;videos&#92;video.avi...\n\nfile:// c:&#92; videos &#92; video.avi\n\nUse "file://" in place of "http://"

Check your settings on your browser. Go to Tools.. Internet Options.. Advanced.. and look under Multimedia... see if "play sounds in web pages" is checked.

yeah i had to disable the pop-up blocker, after you click on yahoo launch, hold "control" then hit "shift". that should disable it, and just click on launch again, it should play.
