HELP!!!!
What are the minimum requirements for my computer to play audio?
90 MHz or faster Intel Pentium processor (or equivalent CPU)
Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3
32 MB RAM
30 MB free space on your hard disk 16-bit sound card and speakers
65,000-color or better video display card
28.8Kbps or faster Internet connection and web browser (IE or Netscape Navigator)
The audio/video is choppy or cuts out occasionally when I listen.
99% of these types of problems are due to the connection speed of your computer. Dialup access to the internet, even on a 56K modem, is only as fast as the phone line you are using. Sometimes the connection speed is affected by other factors, which basically means that your computer can't keep up with the speed at which the audio is being sent. If you are experiencing this problem only once in a while, this might help:
Find the Windows Media Player on your computer. Usually it is located on the Start menu under "Programs". Open the player, and go to "View" and select "Options". Click the tab that says "Advanced", highlight "Streaming Media (Windows Media)" and click "Change". At the top, you can tell Windows Media to buffer more audio before it begins to play. You can tell it to buffer 30 seconds or so to help. Try to increase the number to suit your needs. Keep in mind that if this is a permanent problem with your connection, choppy audio may be inevitable. Unfortunately, the reality is, that anything less than 30Kbps can sometimes experience variations of this
