    Hi,
    I hope someone can help me. All of a sudden I am not able to watch a video in YouTube straight through without it buffering. IT plays for a few seconds, stops, starts again, stops. This has never happened before and I have no idea what is going on. I have a DSL connection and never have this problem. Someone recommended that I download and install Adobe Flash Player 9-0-124-0 which I did but it did not fix the problem. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks!

    Hi,
    Thanks for trying to help me but it is not just YouTube. For some reason anything I try to download has a really slow speed. A song that would usually take a minute times out because the download speed is so slow. My ISP insists that the DSL signal is very strong so the problem must be on my end. I cleaned the cache, ran my virus program, removed software that I thought may be conflicting and nothing works.
