Okay, I'm not sure where to put this, but since it's occurring to 2 computers over my network, I GUESS this is my best bet. So, lately some images and videos are showing up as scrambled. It happens randomly, so not everything is scrambled. At first I thought it was my graphics card and changed it, but to no avail. I've SCANNED it and ti seems it's not a virus. Anyways, just today my brother told me it was happening to him as well. We share internet, me being directly connected to the router and him wireless. I've asked for help in a couple places, but haven't gotten anything out of it.

A couple screenshots of it: http://i.imgur.com/xhy51.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/DZAC6.pngIt seems like a networking issue, although the cause on each computer could be different.

What's the make/model of the router being used?

Netgear wgr614 v7

Also, it only happens to online images/videos. Nothing saved on my computer is scrambled.Before I suggest a firmware update for you router, let's try a few things first to rule out a software issue in each computer.

Download yourself a Live CD of Puppy Linux.  It's got FLASH Player installed by default so, at least on the computer hooked up through a cable, all you have to do is boot off if it and try STREAMING some videos or looking at some online pictures (whatever it is you're doing) to see if your problem clears up.

Puppy Linux will allow you to configure the wireless connection fairly easy, but to avoid hassle we don't need, after you've tested your computer with Puppy, take the cable and use it on your brother's computer and try streaming some vids again and looking at some pics. 

If your problem goes away then you've obviously got some software issues going on with both computers.  If this is the case, before reinstalling Windows (if that crosses your mind) you could try different browsers, disabling browser add-ons, disabling Windows start up programs and non-Microsoft services... Updating Flash player, or reinstalling it...checking in TASK Manager to see if there are any screwy, processes or services running...general operating system maintenance/troubleshooting stuff.


Update the router's firmware to the latest version from here:
