Hello,

I have a very slow video playback (very choppy) whenever I play
streaming video on the internet. I have read many posts to solve this
problem
but I cannot fix this. I am connected to a broadband connection for my
internet. The internet runs very quickly. My computer has a lot of disk
space
and 512 RAM. I have defragmented my computer as well as done various
cleaning
to the system including checking for malware, viruses, disk cleanup. I
only
have 40 processes running which are mostly mcafee applications. I don't
know
what else I can do but everything I have tried does not fix the problem. I
know my connection can give very good playback because about 4 months ago
the
playback was excellent. Can you please help me out, I don't know what to
do
and its driving me crazy! Thank you very much for all your help.

Are you using Windows Media Player or another application? You may have to
adjust the performance properties.

Does this occur when you stream from every web site, or just one or two?
Could be an issue with the server you are viewing from (e.g., high activity
loads).

Now this is going to sound bad, and I don't recommend it all the time, but
temporarily disable McAffee and see if the lag returns. You may have to
adjust the scanning properties.
