Windows XP Professional 32-bit or 64-bit? You say "all updates current", but that will be different for the architecture difference. I can assume Windows XP Professional Edition 32-bit - in which case you have Service Pack 3 and Media Player 11 and all the associated updates? What about video codecs - what type of video are you playing and from where? Are you saying the video's audio starts skipping or that it gets out of synch or...? Have you tried a third party player? What are the processor and memory specifications of your system? What about the video card (name brand, model and amount of memory on it as well as if that is shared or exclusive to the video device memory)? Are the device drivers current *from the device manufacturers*? -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Is the video coming over the internet? If so, your internet connection is not keeping up with the speed of the video. If that's the case, you really can't do anything about it other than switching to faster internet service. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup

If it is streamed, you can't save it but will need a 3rd party add-on to your unidentified web browser or a 3rd party capture utility (the good ones aren't free, like Replay Media Catcher). RealPlayer's web recorder works on many but not all streamed formats. If the video link points to a file (which means you are actually downloading it to play it), just right-click and Save As to save the video as a local file on your hard disk and play it from there. Network traffic and server overload will cause jerkiness in playback. Next time give the URL of the problematic content source so others know what you are talking about. --- Posting Hints --- ALWAYS REVIEW your message before submitting it. You want someone OTHER than yourself to understand your post. Also remember that no one here is looking over your shoulder to see at what you are pointing. If you don't well explain your situation by providing the DETAILS that you already know, don't expect others to know what is your situation. Explain YOUR computing environment and just what actions you take to reproduce the problem. Often you get just one chance per potential respondent to elicit a reply from them. If they skip your post because you gave them nothing to go on (no details, no versions, no OS, no context) then they will usually move on to the next post and never return to yours.

Despite the pretense of a forum, you are participating in a newsgroup (aka Usenet). Also, Microsoft is dropping their "Communities" webnews-for-dummies that gateways to Usenet so you'll either have to figure out how to connect a newsreader to an NNTP server or suffer with Microsoft's inane web-based forums.

And DETAIL the steps to reproduce the error or problem.
