I bought an iBuypower computer with Vista Home Premium, and since I bought
it, it has been unable to play streaming video without freezing or
blue-screening. I think it may be a problem with Adobe, as most online video
players use flash, and it has frozen a few times reading Adobe files. Videos
saved in .avi, .wmv, and Quicktime seem to work so far. I've asked around,
and the concensus seems to be that the problem is with Vista. Maybe there is
a conflict between the two? It has also frozen a few times while using
iTunes. Anyway, is there a fix for this that someone could direct me to? Thx.
Do you have the latest version of Adobe Flash installed?

In response to what you quoted above ... I watch plenty of youtube videos
and not once have I experienced video stopping. Methinks it's a problem on
the Windoze end as I use Ubuntu and that must be why I NEVER experience
this "simply stop sending video".

To educate. But that doesn't include you. You're too braindead to educate
about anything. Including not being able to figure out why I'm here.

Yes, I call it validation by majority vote. People take a position on
something without any empirical evidence to support their choice. This
choice can, however, be validated by getting other people on board.
It's kinda like some religions. Or infections.
Look at the (informal) dress code on college campuses. In those disciplines
where the "truth" is provable (mathematics, the physical sciences,
engineering), nobody pays much attention to what they wear. In those
disciplines where "truth" is determined by majority vote (English, History,
Fine Arts, etc.), they all wear uniforms (the men wear tweed jackets with
leather elbow patches, the ladies wear black dresses with pearls).

Correct. But I used to use MS software until I realized there are far better
alternatives.

> MS and towards all users of any MS software. Is that correct?
Incorrect. I have nothing against users who wish to use MS software. But
when such a user is confronted with the inherent problems that arise using
MS toy operating systems, I simply point out there is an alternative os
available that works better.

I only hate Wintards like you Frank. Most ordinary and honest MS users, I
have no problem with.

It was YOU that stated you suffered from a brain injury. It's obvious that
this malady continues to affect you. So do read my sig for further help.
Although you two flaming each other is quite facinating, none of this has
anything to do with my freezing problem. So either post something relevent
and helpful, or get the hell out.
This sounds like a serious driver problem with your video card. Is there a
driver update available? What video card is this?

According to the nVidia web site, that would appear to be the 163.75 release
from Nov 6th - is that the one on your system?
I'm sticking firmly to my diagnosis of a video card / driver problem *given
the symptoms you've described*.
It's entirely possible that even with the latest drivers you would still
have problems, in which case it's likely time to have a chat with nVidia
support.
