Just bought a vaio VPCEE2S1E. When I'm running a video on youtube and the likes, it has to pause the whole time to load. I checked the performance on task manager, and both the cpu and the memory were not running high at all, so why is this happening? Thank you.

Hi there

Are you sure that it isn't your internet connection or speed causing the buffering / loading pronlem?

I don't know. It seems to work better if I quit chrome and start fresh, which would hint it's got to do with the computer being overloaded, however I only have 1.5 download speed and 0.3 upload speed.

Thanks for the reply.

It seems fast enough to watch online streaming,

although mine buffers now and again on a 5 meg connection.

Have you tried watching streaming in Firefox or even internet explorer to see

if you get the same results? Is there a Chrome update available to try?

Do you have any other internet hungry applications open at the time in the background?

(e.g. Adobe update / Microsoft update / other software etc)

Youtube offer the following advice:

Clear your browser's cache and cookies.
Pause the video. Allow the red loading bar to load completely to the end of the player . Once the video has fully loaded, try playing the video again.

Are you connecting wirelessly or with an ethernet cable?
