Video streaming problem?

Watching video from YouTube or other sites that stream video results in pausing or frozen video on my lap top. What can I do to correct this?

    Your ''Cache'' (Temp Internet Files), Virtual Memory, and/or "PageFiling" are near-full

    and cannot take anymore.  Simply delete your Cache (plus "Cookies" and "History"),

    then clear your Memory with a shutdown + reboot.  Afterwards, you will freak at how

    fast and non-lagging your YouTube will be.

    The other thing you should do between shutting-down and rebooting is to TURN OFF

    both your modem + router for about 30 seconds -- and then turn them back on again.

    (It don't matter how, or in what order, you do those:  modem/router or router/modem).

    Install a newer version of Adobe flash player.If U are using a newer version Just re install it.It may be also due to slow internet speed or bad video playback of your laptop.
