Posted September 11, 2007 Something must be wrong with Direct X, but i'm not sure what. Whenever I watch a Youtube video, as long as Im moving the mouse it works, fine, but for some reason, when I stop moving the mouse it gets slow and keep having short gaps in the sound so it's like "H.. Ho... are...ou" instead of "Hi how are you" So whenever I want to watch a youtube video im sitting there moving my mouse in circles which is a pain in the ass. Could someone help me please?

Posted September 11, 2007 Reinstall Flash? I doubt it's anything to do with Direct X. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 11, 2007 Ive just reinstalled it but the same happens still. I tried playing it in IE instead of Firefox but I still have to keep moving the mouse to keep it running smoothly. I Don't get it at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 12, 2007 Slow flash is usually due to: Buggy software Very bad PC specs Adware/spyware/viruses. Since its not number 1, apparently (unless you just went back to the flash site and redownloaded, rather than google-ing "Flash uninstaller" and doing it propperly)... that'd solve it.

Posted September 12, 2007 I didn't do it right last time, I just reinstalled. Ive uninstalled now, then reinstalled again but it still does the same. I wouldnt have thought it was bad pc specs, because all programs run fine and load quick, and like i said, for some reason as long as the mouse is moving its fine. It looks like I must have adware, spyware or viruses then :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 13, 2007 You guessed that it might be something to do with directx, have you tried to re-install that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
