videos playback jumps all over a webpage and constantly refreshes

[slider9499]

when I playback videos on various sites (CNN, MSNBC< NY Times) the videoes jump around allover the webpage, constantly refresh and buffer.

I own an HP G72 running Windows 7 and IE 9.

I've had the laptop for 6 months and NEVER had trouble. All of sudden this problem started happening about a week ago.

I ran various Norton scans, tried troubleshooting the problem but nothing has resolved it

I think there is a setting I need to adjust or maybe I am just missing something

Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

Check is the following.

Open windows Control Panel, open Internet Options and click the Advanced Tab.  Under Accelerated Graphics, make sure there is not a tick against 'Use software Rendering instead of GPU Rendering'.  If there is, remove the tick and then click Apply to save the change.  Restart IE.

See if you can download the latest installer for Flash Player and save it to your Desktop.  Next, close all browsers, open windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features and uninstall Flash Player if it is still showing here.  When done, restart the notebook.  Now double click the installer on your Desktop to reinstall Flash Player.

Another option is to download and install Firefox as a temporary measure, as the latest version of Adobe Flash seems to work OK with this - you may need to run the Flash installer again after installing Firefox.
