    when i go, say, youtube or some video streaming site, the video intermittently pauses. just the video, not the audio.

    not sure if this is my connection (cable) via wifi or the vid card or what. really annoyed at this.

    anyone else has this problem? any solution?

    thinking about going Windows7 just to see if it'll stop this since i heard it's a hell of a lot smaller footprint and resource hog than vista.

    what are the specs of your notebook? also, as first steps, update your browser (and try some different ones) along with adobe flash player.

    It could possibly be a poor Wifi connection or your browser.

    i have a 1537 with:
    P8400
    4 gigs of ram
    and it's a 32 bit.

    i've tried it with Avant and Firefox.. same. must be wifi connection. i'll try connected via patch and see how that works out.
