But if it worked on Chrome before it should still work fine.

Your connection could be slow, you can check by visiting www.speedtest.net and see what you get. (20MBS is good)

I just did it, here's my result: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3066488160

Also, just shut everything down and restart and try again.

I was going to mail you directly, yet I did not want to bother you again..

How did I know that you would be the first to respond. The speed test seems to have cleared up the problem.

Once again, Thank you!

You are amazing!

Right-click on a video and select Settings..., if the checkbox for Hardware Acceleration is on, turn it off - if it's off, turn it on.

It's dumb, but it is easy enough to try and sometimes it even works.

I think that the sweep that SKP suggested worked.

However I will keep your suggestion in mind. Gotta say I love DU for all the help, sure beats going to Best Buy to have them clean it up, that takes a week. I can't be without my computer that long!

Thank you!
