Videos - usually can't get some videos and streams, usually just buffering?

yes that's why, you have to find streams meant for dial up.\n\nIt's not as expensive as you think. A lot of phone companies anymore can get Yahoo DSL for $14.95 a month.

It's probably both solutions mentioned, slow ISP and memory.\n\nGoto http://www.4allmemory.com to do a free live online check to see what memory you have, and what is available to add, it works good! :)

Video conversion is highly CPU dependent. So if your CPU isn't fast enough, that may be the problem. It could also be a slow hard drive.

I've also had problems until I installed a DIVX player that read almost every type of file.  You may want to look into that if the first answer didn't help.

Sometimes using Windows Media Player can do that if the MPEG-4 or DIVx codecs aren't properly installed.\n\ntry downloading ASUS DVD PLAYER or CYBERLINK DVD PLAYER. This should fix that.

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.

The problem is that your computer plays video faster than it can download it.  \n\nAfter you start viewing, pause the playback and let the buffer fill up with content.  You should be able to see the amount of buffered content in the player window.  Once "most" of the content is buffered, resume playback.

Try to find out what the Codec is. Sometimes the video maybe a dummy without a header code, thus being generally unplayable by any computer.\n\nI suggest if you know anything about PC programming, get a HEX editor and check the header code for the Codec format. That takes a lot of work and I only suggest it if you have no other option. P2P programs like Limewire are becoming increasingly less helpful now that the media bigwigs are cramping down on us.

I dont think the problem is with your computer ... You might not just have the right player to play the video. Try downloading the latest Media player or real player or quicktime player. If you have these then you will have to install approppriate codec so that player can efefctively play those videos. download http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm and then try playing the 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

From the Yahoo help pages:\n\nThere are several reasons why you may not be able to view the video content streaming from our servers. They are included below, with the most common causes listed first.\n\nYou may be attempting to watch the material at a higher bandwidth than your Internet connection currently supports. To test this, try selecting a lower speed from the right pull-down menu in the bottom-right corner of the embedded video playback window. If you are experiencing this problem during the initial video test and are connecting to our service at a bandwidth of 56K or higher, this would not be the cause as this test video is streamed at the lowest bandwidth setting. If you are connecting to our service at a speed lower than 56K, then unfortunately it will not be possible to access our music video material.\n\nAnother possible cause may be that you do not have the Windows Media Player 9 codec installed on your system. This would be the cause only if you are using the 6.4 or 7 versions of the Windows Media Player. Download the Windows Media Player 9 codec. \n\nA third reason may be the bandwidth-detection settings in your Windows Media Player. This can be a problem if you have an Internet connection that has a higher download speed than upload speed (such as cable or ADSL). If this is the case, you can correct it by manually setting the speed within the application. \n\nTo change the speed at which the Windows Media Player attempts to download content, please follow these steps: \nStart Windows Media Player. \nOn the Tools menu, select "Options." \nClick the "Performance" tab. \nIn the "My connection speed is" box, choose the appropriate setting. You should set this speed to match the speed of your Internet connection. \nClick "OK."\nThe last reason may be that your Windows Media Player is not currently set as the default application for video streaming. This can occur if you install another application and allow it to 'claim' these file type associations. To correct this, follow these steps: \n\nStart Windows Media Player. \nOn the Tools menu, select "Options." \nClick the "File Types" tab. \nIn this area, ensure that the "Windows Media," "Windows Media Audio," and "Windows Media Video" file types are selected. \nClick "OK."

One thing i would look at is the number of processes running. Too many may be running consuming a massive chunk of your ram meaning less for the video & application.\n\nHijack this wont help with this problem. What you will need to do is spend a half hour or so looking at the "Processes" list when you hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete. Use a search engine and look up all processes consuming any unreasonable amount of ram.\n\nThis may sound liek it will take a while, and it will. BUt once you do so you will leave with possibly better video playback and a grasp on processes & which ones you need.\n\nThe first thing tho, you may want to dig into your media playback softwares performance options and test things out that way. And for videos on your drive, make sure your defragmented.\n\nGood luck...

Nothing, that's the way live/streaming video usually does. It depends on your computer's speed, but more importantly, on the internet connection bandwidth. Could also be how fast the broadcasting/hosting company's servers are.

Check firewall settings and also make sure you have the correct codec/plugins.
