I have been having problems with downloading files and watching videos on youtube.com, etc..
It is a desktop. HP, Model p6823w, 3.50 GHz Processor, 4 GB Ram Memory, 64 Bit Operating System, Windows7 Home Premium.
So instead of re-instaling my HP recovery disks on the 1T HDD I had in the computer, I bought a new 1T HDD, re-installed the original Windows7 that came with the computer in hopes I could get back to the use of downloading files and the use of youtube.com.
But the same $#%@&!*#$ problem and nothing has been downloaded on the new HDD except the Windows7 Recovery Disk Set.
Connected to the internet, went to youtube.com, tried it , NO GO!
Tried downloading "FlashPlayer", which youtube "needs" to run and the computer stopped downloading after about 10%.
Anyone have any suggestions on what the problem is?
I am wondering if the memory chip might have some kind of problem. I ran Microsoft's Memory Checker that is in Windows7 but it said nothing is wrong.
The download features worked perfectly for well over a year with the new HP computer but just started all this about 3 or 4 months ago and I have tried everything the forum guys have suggested on, removing malware, viruses, etc, and no better. I thought sure this new hard drive and reinstalling Windows7 would cure the problem but NOOOO!
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
BTW, I have a Dell computer sitting on the same desk as this problematic HP/Windows7. It is running XP Pro and will download and play videos perfectly and has less total ram memory and Processor Speed that this HP has.
I am wondering if there is something fishy going on with something inside the computer. I just now saw in the "system and security" in "Control Panel" where Windows was wanting to upgrade my PC with a later version of Windows 7, for a fee of course. Sound fishy to me. Maybe the Home edition is programmed to give problems after "x" time length.
I am one more disgruntled windows7 user.
I would change over to XP but I will loss use of the Excellent DVD Player and Recorder in the computer.
Looks like I am in a "lose-lose" situation here.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
