O.K. Here I am trying to watch MSN videos or VidMax or what ever video site there is to see an interview on Tony Stewart, or watch a Super Bowl commercial. When all I get is fragmented bits and pieces of the video. You can watch the lower bar go across the screen(the buffering? bar move very slowly. Then the video bar starts moving twice as fast and catches up to the buffering bar. Now the whole movie stops for up to a minute. What is "BUFFERING"?? Why do some videos load almost instantly, while others don't hardly load at all? How can this problem be FIXED??? The neighbors are tired of hearing cuss words coming out of my house! Thanks

What is buffering?

Buffering means simply to cushion against fluctuations in bandwidth due to net congestion. When the digital information being transferred to your computer for viewing during a Webcast hits a traffic jam on the Internet, your media player begins to stockpile enough data to continue playing the program without disrupting your show.

Buffering periods of 15-30 seconds are typical.
