Can I tweak the settings on Windows XP to help prevent freezes?
Buffering may continue due to the need for the amount of video coming in. This will generate a response going back to the source advising of the connection, slowing down and freezing the video as the communications are going on. A fix on the connection speed has shown good results. On the desktop or from the start menu, right click on Network Connections. Then right click on LAN or High Speed Internet; click on “Properties”; “General” tab; “Configure Network Connection/card”; “Advance” button; and change the “Flow Control Settings” from “Generate & Respond” to “off”.
