Hi! Back again!

So when watching videos and streaming on my netbook, I expand the video window and the video becomes slow, jumpy and the audio is a few seconds behind. I have deleted all my history, made sure there's no programs running in the background and that I have up to date flash player. Is there anything else I could try? The video is ok as long as I keep it in the small window but as you can imagine, on a netbook you need a magnifying glass!
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

Do you mean on sites Like YouTube, Vimeo, iPlayer or is it downloaded video files too?

Have you tried different browsers? Like Chrome or Firefox? Do you have a good internet connection? If you struggle with downloaded files, try VLC.... http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html

Most netbooks processors are very slow in general and watching something FULL SCREEN with HD resolution, will cause what you've described above... so it's kind a normal..

I tend to watch more online. I leave the video to fully load then come back to watch it but it's still jumpy and audio is rubbish when I expand into a bigger window. I don't tend to download. I have chrome as a browser.
It tends to be any site that I watch things on.

It's not normal. Had the netbook over a year and watched things on full screen and it was fine until recently.

Well, if it's been working fine, then obviously you have a reason why it's slow.. Overheating.. slow internet.. background programs.. anything could be the cause of it.. you have to eliminate them one by one..

Are there other little annoying problems that you put with on the netbook such as the applications not always starting
or email client shuts down for no apparent reason? if so you may have a some malware running or trying to run.
Download, install and run the latest free version of Malwarebytes

I suggest the above because I recently had something called Trojan.LameShield burried away on my main machine, and
only malwarebytes run in safe mode would remove it.

Also do a full scan with your antivirus software.
