videos take forever to load
I have high speed internet, and everything loads instantly except for videos. This includes youtube and other websites such as netflix. I am trying to watch a movie, and have been waiting for 30 minutes, and only 4 minutes worth have loaded. This is extremely frustrating and makes me want to throw my computer against the wall. Why is this happening? Everything except for videos loads instantaneously.

Well videos are bigger than say an image... How well do flash games load? What about downloading videos as opposed to just watching them in the browser? Do you use Firefox? Most browsers I can think of have what's called a safemode (no add-ons), boot your browser into that mode and try watching a video. If it works fine, it means you most likely have a bad extension or something, so uninstall them one by one until it works again. You could also try uninstalling and then reinstalling flash (have to uninstall, simply upgrading or just installing a new version won't work) that fixed it for me when I was having issues. You probably also have malware on your computer sapping up bandwidth. Download Spybot and Malwarebytes [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

and scan/clean your computer.
