Scheme me up a scheme to fix my computer please. I can no longer watch streaming video edit: full screen without it being choppy. What do I have to do? Is my computer from 2008 just done? It's a Sony Vaio VGN-NS140E if that that helps.

Do you still have the original windows disc? If so I would throw that sucker in and just reboot the entire system.

Is anything else you do pretty choppy, or just full screen video? When you say "Streaming video", do you mean youtube? Does this happen if you try to play a DVD full screen?

DVD, videos downloaded, etc. Full screen no problem.

It's when I try to stream a video from youtube, hulu, etc. that I have issues.

Your computer is still pretty new, so this probably is not the problem, but have you tried simply reloading the computer?

pissclams · « **Reply #14 on:** August 30, 2012, 12:47:42 PM »

seems like a flash issue

hemmy · « **Reply #15 on:** August 30, 2012, 12:49:30 PM »

This is why my computer has 2 video cards.

I took all advice and still having issues. Aside from a fresh install.

Saulbadguy · « **Reply #19 on:** August 30, 2012, 01:46:32 PM »

How choppy is the video?

Stutter/stop?

Buffers?

SdK · « **Reply #20 on:** August 30, 2012, 01:49:22 PM »

choppy.

how did you address the flash part?

Saulbadguy · « **Reply #22 on:** August 30, 2012, 01:54:17 PM »

Go to youtube and load up a video, right click in the video and select "settings"

Uncheck (or check) enable hardware acceleration and see if that helps
