coming up? I've noticed recently that my internet has been acting strange, I haven't done anything different, and I haven't downloaded anything so I can't figure out why it's doing this, but when i try to play a youtube video or some other web site's video it loads just fine and quickly but when it plays the video it is choppy. The audio is just fine and plays without skipping. Also, I've noticed that around the same time as this problem sometimes when I click a link on my toolbar it would send me to google saying there was an error and the page could not be found when i know for a fact that the page is there. Sometimes I can keep clicking the link and it'll then go to the site, but sometimes I have to close firefox and start it again. I have an acer aspire 5610Z running windows vista home premium on a school network and also on my home wireless network whenever I go home. Both networks have the same problem, so I don't believe it is a network connection issue.
I have the latest version of firefox, I do have a laptop desk for my lap so there is no blocking the fans, I have done virus scanning everyday and no issues affect the security of my system
 
Could be your virus detection/intrusion protection software. Make sure it's updated to the latest version.

Edit: If you don't have virus or intrusion protection, then you probably have a virus eating up bandwidth by sending out spam. get avg freeware version and do a scan.

No it is not an internet connection issue. Sometimes it can be a router though, however in your case it simply is not.

I checked out the specs on your PC. You simply do nto have enough ram. I mean you don't need a die hard video card to not lag on youtube. It comes with 1gb of DDR2 ram. Seeing as ddr2 ram is so ridiculously cheap now. I would reccomment 4gb of ram 2x2gb sticks.

The type of ram is ddr2 667 mhz a.k.a. pc 5300

You can purchase the ram at such sites as below. 50 dollars and your pc will be blazin.
