| | On-line streaming/buffering I recently "upgraded" my computer to Vista ... now when I listen to Sirius on-line (same computer, same ISP) it plays for a while, then says "buffering" and I get no sound till the system catches up ... is there a setting in Vista (IE?) that's different from XP? Thx in advance.... |

As you can see, there are a lot of reasons why it might be slow after upgrading! -- Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia "DMiller" wrote: Quote: > I recently "upgraded" my computer to Vista ... now when I listen to Sirius > on-line (same computer, same ISP) it plays for a while, then says "buffering" > and I get no sound till the system catches up ... is there a setting in Vista > (IE?) that's different from XP?

| | RE: On-line streaming/buffering Problem solved: Inside Windows Media Player there is a box under "Options/Performance" for "Network Buffering," and for some reason the box was checked to Buffer 5 seconds. I tried increasing that to 60, which caused huge playback delays. I changed it to the recommended Use Default Buffering setting and it's working fine...
