Vista - Music/video skips with 2 diff NEw HP Notebooks- Tried EVERYTHING H

I bought 2 new laptops at Christmas time, one for my daughter, a HP Intel
5450,1.50 with 2 gig of RAM ( upgraded to 4 ), upgraded to a dedicated
graphics card when buying from HP.com( 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS ) 15.4
LCS.

I bought for myself the 17" -DV9500 Notebook with 7250 Intel proc., 256MB
NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS upgraded, w/ 2 GIG of RAM. 240 HD.

Since new, when I play music/ video from Yahoo, YOUTube, etc, it skips,
stalls, stops, speeds up, etc. I have not installed anything on these except
the Norton 360 protection to continue to protect my pc. Heck I even tried to
disable the windows firewall but did not help.

I have tried the common fix methods of disable the enhancements, etc and no
help.

I am ready to throw against wall, Pls help HP techs are no help at all.

Pls help me

I would guess it to be the speed of your connection. The player has a buffer
setting in the options. Making it bigger will correct some of the stopping.
WMP, tools menu, options, Performance tab.
