You´re welcome. We all learn from each other. I´m looking forward to keeping Win 7 + 8.1 active for as long as possible.
Hello. I have OEM Vista Business x64 on my ntb Fujitsu Esprimo Mobile V6545 which I have upgraded to Server 2k8 R1 (last updated 10 Jan 2023) using BypassESU. I use the updated 360 Chrome Browser version 13.5.2036.0 based on Chrome version 86.0.4240.198 as my default browser. It is possible to install plugins from the Chrome Web Store, which are fully functional. It shows no problems when playing YouTube videos, even in HD format, unlike Serpent/Basilisk 52.9 or NewMoon 28.10. K-Meleon doesn't appeal to me at all... You can still consider MyPal 68.12. I chose 360 Chrome Browser because I don't want to spoil my system with any extended kernels.
Thank you. I will add ‘updated 360 Chrome Browser version 13.5.2036.0 based on Chrome version 86.0.4240.198’ to the list of browsers to try. Do you have a link to the download page? If not, I will search for it myself.
It has been some time since my last message, but I have now tried the browsers. The Opera browsers are simply refusing to work, notifying me that the browser is unsupported (I saw a Youtube video a number of posts above this one about bypassing the unsupported message, so maybe that’s the answer here). The Otter browser gives an error, stating it can’t find an active Kernel (insert number here, but I forgot which one). The 360 Chrome browser did work, but on Youtube it made the entire system freeze like crazy. I will try it again, but it does not look good for 360. The other browsers, Firefox esr, Basilisk, Mypal, New Moon, did work with Youtube, but they were slow in loading and did have a mild form of stuttering. I still need to determine which browser has the least problems. I’m unsure what the problem was with SeaMonkey. Oh yes, I downloaded the wrong version, which needed Windows 7 at least.
The stuttering while watching U-tube videos may have nothing to do with what browser you use. It may have to do with what hardware (processor, RAM, graphics, etc.) your computer has. If you can provide us with that information, some of the members here may be able to help you.
Yes, the laptop has little memory available. It’s more than likely the reason for the stuttering, but not long ago my father was able to watch Youtube videos without stuttering, and this was when he still had more than one antivirus program installed. It should therefore be possible to not have stuttering with limited memory, if those heavy background applications are not present (saves memory, doesn’t it?).
AV and similar are mostly CPU heavy. Not RAM. Still a bad Idea to use them in my opinion. (offtopic: Use Clamwin with no realtime scan and windows defender instead. Make sure that you update the defender definitions.) Little RAM would mean a lot of need for pagefile (virtual ram). So if you are on HDD that would be really slow. You could put a SSD drive if you are sure that the page file is the problem. It will wear down the drive but our fathers are deserve it. Have a look on vimeo bitchute etc. Is this stuttering still occurs or is it only in youtube?
