Movies become choppy/laggy after playing for 5 episodes or more
After watching 5 or 6 episodes of drama.net & gooddrama.net on my 32bit Win XP (2GB RAM X61)
or even on my 64bit Win 7 (4GB RAM X201), the movies become choppy/laggy on the chrome.
Even restarting Chrome doesn't help & need to reboot Windows. Why is this so & any way to
overcome this without rebooting? I usually hibernate my Windows for faster bootup.
There are plenty of free disk space on both laptops plus some free RAM but the CPU tends to
be high after a while as shown by Task Manager? Or is this due to video RAM running low?
My X61 is on SSD so don't think it's a disk IO performance issue
I suppose those sites require flash player : is this related to flash?

Logoff windows & relogin & then launch Chrome again helps speed up.
But I don't get the last URLs that I browsed anymore in Chrome
Somehow my Control Panel screen differs from what Merete posted
& I can't locate Flash in Control Panel.
From Command Line, got the following:
C:\>dir/s *flash*.* |more
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 62BD-639F
