santana Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Are you running any other programs at the same time? Hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete and see if anything is being run in the background. If it looks like something that isn't important, shut it down.Also, go to Start > Run. Type in "msconfig" and go to the Startup tab. Disable any startup programs that aren't 100% necessary.

The Sandman Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Could be spyware related, or Trojan related. Likewise, you may not have enough bandwithe to buffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Ok. And if it would be a spyware or trojan, how do I get rid if it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santana Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Ok. And if it would be a spyware or trojan, how do I get rid if it?Get good antivirus and spyware programs. Go to download.com and get AVG Free and Ad-Aware. That's what I use and I've never had problems with those 2. AVG is an antivirus program, it's completely free and it works like a charm. Ad-Aware is for spyware, it's free as well and very reliable.Also, try defragmenting your hard drive. Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragment.

The Sandman Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 VLC would be my personal choice - although I'm sure what The San Tana suggested would be just as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
