I, like most of us, like to watch those little videos such as those posted on YouTube, Break, etc. Ever since I switched PCs last year I have had a problem playing these videos. I am not PC astute enough to figure it out. What happens is that the first video I play will play just fine for a bit over 2 minutes - sometimes longer - and then the video will become jerky and the sound will stutter and often become echoey until both video and sound stop for maybe 15 seconds. After that I'm fine but only for about 30-40 seconds more, then it starts over again. During this time anything else I try to do moves exceedingly slow. It's like nearly all the memory is being used. If I play another video the 2 minute problem period is skipped.
I am on Windows XP Home Edition, SP 2. I keep it up to date. It's an older Compaq PC, Pentium 4 1.50 GHZ with the maximum 512MB of RAM. I didn't have any problems on my many years old previous PC with a much slower CPU and half the RAM. There must be something I could adjust but I don't know what.
Any suggestions?
