UPDATE 2 things, one you browser, two the player
I would re install firefox and use VLC player instead of WMP

Option two, restore IE browser defaults
click internet options under tools
click advanced tab
click rest button

install K lite codec pack

Your system may be to old ,old video drivers may be out of date , or you may have adware slowing down your system.And yes DSL even with a 500 K will do this .If you have your update OS on everything sould be updated .In other words there could be a lot of things that could be wrong.Things to give out for help, CPU speed ,video card type ,DSL speed ,OS like windows XP or 2000 ,ect. When all fails go to system tools and system restore and pick a time when everything worked and restore your system.

Update your Video player

If a video doesn't play continuously, it may be due to your connection speed. You'll need a broadband connection with at least 500+Kbps for the best viewing experience.

Another possible reason for choppy video playback is that the servers are experiencing high traffic.

It's also possible that your video download speed is slow or inconsistent. In this case, you can try pausing the video until the entire stream is downloaded and then playing the video. Occasionally, an incomplete copy of a video can get stuck in your cache and never fully download. You can re-attempt the download by clearing your browser's cache.

Ck. your codes

But not knowing what player or windows you are running only a guesses.

I have a problem with the video playing on youtube or anything. It jumps forward and I can't watch. The sound is fine. Any suggestions? thanks
