How to Fix the Video Buffering Reset in a Windows XP Computer

Lower bandwidth Internet connections require video playback adjustments.

Windows Media Player may stop and reset playback if the Internet connection is slow, causing the media buffer cache to empty before content playback is complete. Windows Media Player includes configuration settings that you can adjust to fix the video buffering reset issue. Use the "Options" settings in Windows Media Player to increase the media buffer cache size to resolve video resets.

Instructions

1. Click the "Start" button, then click "All Programs." Select "Accessories." Click "Entertainment" then click "Windows Media Player" in the menu that appears.

2. Click the "View" menu in the Windows Media Player window that appears, then click "Options."

3. Click the "Advanced" tab, then click the "Streaming Media" item. Click "Change."

4. Click "Buffer" and increase the buffer text box number by 20. Click the "OK" button.
