In the last few days these clips will only play in a very jerky way with no smooth stream. I cannot figure out the problem. I haven't changed anything recently like new software etc. I'd really appreciate any help that anyone can give. Thanks |

Frankp, I'm grateful to you for your reply but I'm not a great computer man! Where would I get this "Flash"?
Thanks again for taking the time to help me. |

and thanks for such a quick reply! I've downloaded the flash plugin Frank and the jerkiness is still exactly the same, I'm afraid.

What browser are you using? It could be browser compatibility. Have you tried sites other than Youtube or is it just Youtube? If it's something other than Youtube, post some links and I'll look at them.

Hi Frank....I have both Mozilla and firefox installed and the problem is the same with both of them. Both of them worked fine up until a few weeks ago. I can't remember doing any major changes to the computer since then. Virginmedia.com sport section plays football clips. Youtube is another. Both of these are jerky. The only place I've found where it doesn't jerk is the BBC iplayer screen!

I don't live in England so I can't watch clips at Virginmedia. But I went there anyway and they don't use Flash. They use Windows Media. Also, I've noticed that sometimes there are compatibility issues with Firefox and some video sites. I use IE6. Suggestion #1:Make sure you have the latest version of Windows Media Player. That would be WMP11. You can find it at the Microsoft Update site. Suggestion #2:Mozilla recently issued a new version of Firefox so you should update that. Some of these video sites can get awfully touchy when you don't have the latest version of certain things. I'm not familiar enough with Firefox to know about any tweaks or extensions that might help.
