Problems with NBC Microsoft Silverlight - anyone have a solution?	Can't Post

Whenever I try to watch any Olympic feed on nbcolympics.com, the quality of the feed is pretty mediocre. The picture resolution is good, but the feed lags periodically, the framerate often drops to 1 frame per second, and for minutes at a time becomes unwatchable. This happens for both live and prerecorded feeds. Additionally, there doesn't seem to be a way to adjust feed settings in any substantial way. (My internet connection is wireless, but is fast enough. This occurs regardless of the available system memory/processor, as well.)

Does anyone else have the same problem? Or a solution?

(I'm running Windows XP Home on a Dell laptop with 1gb ram.)

Browser? SP pack?
Try FF if you're using IE.
Reinstall Silverlight.
Silverlight automatically adjust for your connection speed.

Browser is IE6, SP 2. Windows is SP3.
Firefox crashes when I try to watch Silverlight videos.
I'll try reinstalling Silverlight.

Yep, my install is up-to-date as well. Reinstall didn't help.
