Hi Sam, are you familiar with the "buffer bar" when playing videos? It is the part of the video timeline that extends beyond where you've watched so far and it shows how much of the show is preloaded and ready for you to watch. If that buffer bar (usually grey) is too small or right at where you've watched to, then it means that something in your set up isn't fast enough to keep up with the show.
it could mean that you need to let your video start, and then pause it for a while to let it load before starting to watch. It may mean that you need to clean up your computer that may be bogged down with junk. Try using CCleaner from Pirform downloadable on Cnet

It could mean that your computer is simply not fast enough to handle never videos with higher definition that require more power to load quickly. So, if cleaing your computer doesn't help, then you may need to upgrade your RAM. Use ctrl+alt+delete to open the task manager, and use this to check the processor and RAM loads. This may take some googling to figure out. Processors can be hard to nearly impossible to switch, but RAM is easy, but may cost $40-$80 depending on what you need. Here is a website to find reliable products called Crucial (

Good luck!
