re: Choppy Streaming Tuesday, May 22, 2007 at 7:14 pm Posted by dhm (990 messages posted) My thought is to use Ctrl+Alt+Del and make a list of the running processes. Then use a search engine and find out what each of them is. If there is something unnecessary running find out how to stop it from loading. Possibly an officious firewall or antivirus could be interrupting. But even more likely spyware busily phoning home. Spyware can load up layer on layer, all of them trying to report out.

No, my guess is might have something to do with Flash, Shockwave and/or DirectX. Either something was uninstalled improperly or shouldn't've been uninstalled or there's some sort of compatibility issue with them. Just clued out as to what that could be if it is.
