So this is a wireless system, they GENERALLY don't run at full wired speeds anyway. I would go with the tech on this and agree with getting a boosted antennae.I don't fully trust the tech he said he updated everything 100% but I've had to update a bunch of things he didn't . he said youtube worked great for him but this com didn't EVEN have the updated flash content needed to run youtube videos so how could he have tested it to find it worked fine. thats what I get for going cheap on a tech only $40 to reboot and reformat. If he didn't work for my father in law at freescale I'd never have had it taken to him I could have done the job myself. besides I was thinking he'd install windows vista not xp home edition. but like I stated earlier this com was a gift from my father in law and he wanted it to work before giving it to me so................. Oi, one of those, lets start over from the beginning and see what we get.of all the things it could have been it was my setting for my flash content and video CARD. oy vey that was a weird problem to deal with.So you GOT it now?yep had to turn down acceleration of nvidia card and pow work good. go figure! and my abode settings needed adjusting. but finally can watch my videos. thanks for the help. software work sux I love hardware though. I'm going to start school for a degree in pc repair in nov. so I'll be able to help people with problems soon. Get a jump on your studies daisysycks...
