    Getting nowhere with movies
    « on: February 09, 2009, 05:48:49 AM »

    I tryed to watch a movie from www.hulu.com. Every few seconds it will pause and it can get to be very annoying.
    Meanwhile I tryed to watch a DVD on my computer and it will load and show the name of the movie and wide screen/full screen but will not continue.             Thank you very much for your help,

      Doctor Who,

      It might be the site providing the movie.? Too many viewers and not enough machine?  Try another Movie site?

      1) Clean your machine
      2) Shut down open windows not needed; disable unneeded startup programs.  Msconfig ?
      3) Not enough Ram?
      4) Slow CPU?
      5) Wrong Video Card?
      6) Check with Computer Manufacturer's support
      7) Virus?
      8) Try a new DVD Movie for the DVD problem?
      9) Unplug from wall and reboot? ( Might need to plug back in before the reboot? )
      10) Talk to your machine; encourage your machine
