streaming video ALWAYS stops!!

NeVeR

Hi all..

It's been happening a while but i just thought it was youtube or something

But not when watching any video online like youtube or pokertube and anything at all after about 5% into the stream is just stops... and doesnt re-start... if i refresh the screen and start playing it again if will alway stop is the same place... I've triied loads of different videos,,, they always stop..

I'm on a 6MB connection so it's not that.
any ideas as it's getting really annoying... esp when watching the poker !!

I have firefox installed but i get this error

"Firefox is already running, but is not responding,to open a new window, you must first close the existing firefox process, or restart your system"

This been happening for a while...

I'm going to uninstall firefox and install it again.. see what happens

NeVeR

i removed firefox and installed a new one from there site.. it's the new firefox3.. but i'm getting the same error !!

That's strange. Try IE if you have it.

I went to "run" and typed in firefox -p and deleted my old profile and made a new one..

Now i just get a blank firefox browser !,,, doesnt matter what i type into the address bar nothing will come up

head over to the Virus and malware removal forum and make a thread on this. Its a bit fishy.

I had the same problem a few months ago, but when flash updated it fixed itself.

NeVeR

It's still not working.

I've done a full AVG scan nothing. Spyboy serach and destory,, some stuff but nothing to fix the problem,,

I got firefox working and it plays for the same videos for maybe 3 seconds longer then IE

whats going on?...
I'm on a 10MB connection with a PC built for high end gaming so it's not the spec thats stopping the videos from playing...

Does anyone have any ideas?

press Ctrl+Alt+Delete

That will pop up the task manager (or if vista click on task manager)

Then click the tab Process, and on the firefox.exe click End Process, this will close firefox and you can restart it then

It's the same for me on firefox, I just use i.e to watch streaming video.
I know that doesn't fix it. Keeping my eyes on this thread.
