The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Happens on both firefox and IE. I try to watch the network shows from NBC and CBS but they freeze up every few seconds and start again. Something new just started a few weeks ago.

    something's interfering with your network signal and eating up bandwidth that would otherwise go to supporting the video feeds. Have you added anything new recently, or changed something that has access to the network?

    I agree. Poor connection to the network. Is it wireless or wired?

    Broadband, I mostly use ATT wifi at Starbucks and the library wifi. I tried shutting down my firewall and Avira but it does not help.

    OK, I did the System restore back to early July and it seems to have worked.
