    Hello, I just recently got my ASUS laptop with windows 7 a month and a half ago, it's been fine except one problem. It flat out doesn't stream videos off of sites where my former laptop did just fine. Example is southparkstudios, hulu, etc. It will play for about 5-10 minutes, then start getting EXTREMELY laggy, the sound will get to be far ahead of the video until the video just stops responding in general. It does this on google chrome, IE and mozilla, so it is not a browser issue. I did some reading and it might be a flash problem, however I downloaded the latest version and it should be fine. Each of my roommates also have windows 7 and theirs play just fine (which shows its not an internet connection issue as well...) PLEASE PLEASE HELP

    Have you tried disabling hardware acceleration on Hulu?
