My 2GHz 7-year old Gateway 700x desktop running Win XP Pro and a
fairly good Nvidia GeoForce 2 MX400 video card has no problem playing
web videos. However, when I go to this link to play a Flash
presentation...

...the sound and video are very choppy. When I minimize this Firefox
2.0 webpage to the taskbar, the sound is very smooth.

What is the likely problem here?

Thanks!

Hi Scott! Well I tried Firefox 3 Portable on my netbook and the website
pops up ok. But the video won't download. I tried it on my Gateway
MX6124 1.5GHz ('06 era) and it plays fine. Using Firefox it was pushing
50% of the CPU time. The file can be found in your temp folder. You
probably need the free Unlocker to make a copy of it if you want to play
it outside of the browser (plays fine on the Gateway and this netbook).
Here is the info about the video. Maybe it will help.

For whatever reason, the flash presentation plays okay no...using Firefox 2.0
When it's playing, it's using 50-50% of the CPU time.

There must have been something running in the background for awhile, but it's no
longer a problem.

Thanks for your help!

Worked fine for me and guess you got it straightened out.
I have to tell you though, as a retired chemist, I think the premise of
the website is a crock.
