Vista video streaming has pauses in video and sound

I am running Windows Vista Ultimate and when I stream videos from websites
like Gametrailers.com as either a Windows Media or a Quicktime file the video
is choppy and has sound issues. If I download the same video there is no
choppyness and once the stream is no longer on HTTP and is on CACHE it is
fine. I know i have enough bandwidth for the video and under statistics I
does not show any errors .I have all the latest drivers and service packs.
And my PC specs are the following.

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (2.4 Ghz)
Graphics Card: Nvidia 8800 GT 512 MB
RAM: 2 GB of DDR2
Motherboard: 680I SLI (Not Running Dual graphics cards)


I have reinstalled Vista as both 32 bit and 64 bit to see if there was some
difference. I also have this same issue on my Laptop running Vista.

Sounds like your internet connection
is slow...are you on dialup?

Maybe the following site will help you
determine your download speed:

Hi John. I am sure it is not a connection issue because I can stream the
video in flash without any problems. Also I could boot into Linux or even XP
and the problem is not there. I can try to load the same videos from my
school which has a very very fast connection and I would get the same issue.

Maybe the following link will offer some ideas:
