Video Loading/Viewing Issues
My internet/browser(s) recently have been making me download the entire video before it will let me watch it. Usually, it will start downloading and give me a progress bar and start playing the video as it's downloading. I have high speed internet and this has just recently started. For example, if I were to go to youtube.com and select any video, it would not start the download or anything it will just stay at beginning. After about a minute, the video will play and it will be completely downloaded. Any ideas? It's really annoying!!!

Thanks in advanced!

This sounds more like the buffer settings in Windows Media Player, have you checked those?

I just checked those and they are on the autodetect internet speed (recommended setting). I never use media player, and this just recently started doing this. I haven't changed any settings that would alter the "buffer" settings. Does media player control different aspects of video playback even though I never use it? I have wireless internet and two computers hooked up to the internet. The other computer doesn't have any problems going to youtube and watching a streaming video. It's definitely something wrong with my computer.
