Please note, if you are experiencing choppyness with either the new Microsoft Media player, or with Real Player, or any other Media player that feeds the file from our server, it may be due to one of the following reasons: 1) The sound/video file you were trying to upload, is uploading slower than your buffer can handle.  This may be due to a slow speed on your phone/cable connection, or quite possibly, if you view/listen to the file right when you get it, 20,000 others are trying to access it as well at  that very moment, so it is possible that our server is flooded.  In this case, you can either wait until the file finishes playing, and then just play it again which should clear up the problem, or just use your right mouse button on the link, save it to your disk, and then  play it at your leisure. 2) The second possibility is that you have too much open on your computer, and your memory resources are too low.  In this case either shut down some running programs to free up the memory and try again, or you may have to reboot your system and try again. AVHumor currently recommends Microsoft Media player, version 7 for all its audio and visual needs.
