If videos play correctly on your laptop when you're away from home, the problem could well be your router, or your ISP. Take your laptop to a Wi-Fi hotspot or a friend's house and watch a streaming video via a different broadband supplier. If videos play properly, then it's probably a problem with your PC. For example, try a different laptop with your Virgin connection. It's easier to do this if you can compare two laptops and two ISPs.

The next problem is trying to find out if the buffering is being caused by your PC or your ISP. Windows works well when it has enough resources, but if it runs out of them – for example, if a runaway program is stealing 100% of the processor – then the performance plummets. Check also that you have some free memory and at least a gigabyte of free disk space. The System Idle Process (which indicates that your PC is not doing anything) should be somewhere around 98%. When you've finished, reboot your PC and run either the Windows Task Manager or Sysinternals' Process Explorer. You can also check which version of Adobe Flash is installed in each browser (look for the Version information box on Adobe's site), and if you think Flash might be the problem, go through Adobe's troubleshooter.

Instead, download and run two free programs, CCleaner from Piriform, to clear your PC's caches and cookies, and then Malwarebytes Anti-Malware using the Quick Scan. It's always a good idea to start with some PC hygiene, but Spybot Search & Destroy is not up to the job. However, when the system breaks down, it's hard to find the cause. The buffer acts as a temporary store to smooth out any variations in the video stream.

This can include problems with graphics drivers, anti-virus software (especially shields and live scanners, which you can turn off), firewalls and browser plug-ins. When the stream reaches your house, there can be further problems with your broadband router, the connection to your computer, and the software and/or hardware of your PC. There can be problems with the hosting site, with any of the dozen or more hops that the data take on the way to your internet service provider (ISP), and with the "traffic shaping" system your ISP probably employs. The internet comes with no guarantees about performance, and a vast number of things can delay a streaming video. Is the buffering problem likely to derive from the download speed or could it be something more sinister which has attached itself to the laptop? I regularly run Spybot Search and Destroy, and no obvious issues have shown up. I have no idea whether this performance has recently dipped. I have checked the download speed of my broadband supplier (Virgin) and it is showing 2.7Mbps, as opposed to the advertised "up to 10". Within the past few weeks, any attempt to use my laptop to watch streaming media generates buffering problems.
