[QUOTE="BearcatSA, post: 888433, member: 115542"] Same with both Safari and Firefox. The tech guys at the store where I purchased the machine installed Firefox to see if that solved the problem, but they can't find an answer for me, either. They've done what they can under warranty: other stuff to be done will require a fee, which sucks, as far as I'm concerned. The general answer from my service provider is to get the higher speed connection (between 1.5 - 6.0 Mbps) and that "may" solve problem. I still don't understand how this computer is an absolute slug loading and playing the same videos, on the same internet connection, using the same modem and having similar speed tests to my old PC that doesn't even have enough memory to load the latest Flash Player. I'm quite frustrated, as you can tell. But once again, thanks to you and all others for your help.:) [/QUOTE]
