Today my computer has been acting up not letting me watch videos or listen to the radio online. I tried to watch the broadband videos on nba.com but they wouldn't start up, my mom tries to listen to the radio on kisscleveland and it wouldn't work for her, and these are all things we do everyday on here that usually work fine. I can still watch videos on youtube though, so do anyone know how i can possibly fix this.
 
You don't have enough space on your computer, your speed is not fast enough for WMP streaming videos to run.

Check your PC for ANY viruses, Yeah you'll have to spend like 60 bux for the software, But what would you rather pay, 60 or a couple grand?
 
First thing is make sure your windows are up to date. in your browser go to tools then windows update. Run the updates and follow the instructions

Second thing I would look at his how much hard drive space you have. If you have plenty left, then I would probably run a system restore to a week ago, test if it still didn't work run another restore and test it again.
 
Well i already have virus protection so i don't think its that but it might be the amount of space i have. Is there anything i can go to for it can automatically clear un-needed programs off my pc or do i have to just go through files manually?

I'm gonna try these things, thanks....
 
For hard disc drive it says i have 74.5 GB free out of 111 GB, and i did the windows update and it says it was already updated.

How do i restore the system to a week ago??
 
click on start then help and support, in search topics type system restore. Then follow the directions.
 
Well i tried the system restore to a week ago but still won't work. How do you reformat??
 
I wondering if there is any programs i can download like an updated flash player or something. Any recommendations?
 
upgrade your browser. I assume you are using firefox or IE, i know firefox just came up with a new update and maybe IE too. i had this same issue about a week or two ago and I just had to update.

just go to the firefox website or the IE website and download the newest application.
 
^^^ did it but no change, i'll just give it a day or 2 and see if it eventually starts working again........
 
Try downloading TuneUp utilities from download.com. You can clear up some space with it.
