    Why can't my laptop stream Netflix worth shit?

    It's a basic dell HP I got for school/surfing.

    Basically, it will play the video for about five seconds before the picture crawls to a stop while the audio continues playing without a hitch. I've deleted all my cookies and yada yada, but still nothing. I don't generally have a problem with my connection being terribly slow, so I'm not really sure what the problem is. I also don't really have trouble streaming anything else (unless you count DiVX streams, which I don't care for much).

    I had a horri-bad experience with my flash/java being corrupted and it would start videos but not finish them. It was immensely frustrating figuring it out.

    Does it show videos from like...youtube or espn? My first step would be to figure out if it's videos in general, or just videos it tries to download from netflix.

    Yea, I can watch youtube/espn/mlbtv/etc. all fine. The same thing happens at work on my desktop; runs everything, except Netflix fine.

    Are you trying to watch it in full HD? What are your laptop specs?
