Trouble viewing YouTube vids on my laptop

[Black Sheep 1]

Lately, I've been having trouble watchng YouTube videos on my laptop.
Even with the video fully loaded.
The effect is choppy (or skippy).
I've tried clearing cookies and cache but still the same problem.

Any suggestions (besides buying a new laptop or getting a Mac)?

Hard to say without you bringing it into the shop (where are you located)?

If it worked fine and then suddenly didn't, the question is what changed...

Try running ccleaner and give it a good ol cleaning out, it's a free app

It wouldn't hurt to run MalwareBytes either. Chances are you got something in there churnin' and burnin'.

 

[Black Sheep 1]

Yes I've done all that and just finished running malware bytes and still running choppy videos.

[Black Sheep 1]

No, but I think I got my problem solved.
I'm typing this from my brand new MacBookPro.

Lol you buy a new one?

 

[Black Sheep 1]

Yep.
I got tired of messing within so I went out and got me a new one and also picked up the AppleTV thing.
So I can watch videos on the big screen!
;D

So if it happens again are you going to buy a new laptop then too?

Apple TV is AWSOME. i use Air video App to stream movies from my PC to tv, you need the air video server that part is free, Well worth the €2.40 i payed for it
