    When I stream videos online, it is behaving erratically. For example, the site automatically chooses to use Windows Media player (I was using the latest version -11, I’ve also tried 10 and 9 which also had problems when streaming videos). It says at the bottom it is buffering, once its finished, the video is fast-forward all the time. Does anyone know why its behaving like this? I also have XP codec pack installed.

    There have been some problems with version 11 lately - most people aren't upgrading at the moment.

    Sounds like a codec problem. Try uninstalling the xp codec pack maybe.
