Posted June 2, 201411 yr comment_1356191 A little bit of the back ground story, the wife always got the hand me down computer in the house. I got a bonus check last month so we went and picked her out a nice system. I'm not a big fan of Windows 8 but we got WoW installed and her email up and running. The problem were having is with Facebook. When she gets on her Facebook page, videos start to load and her screen locks up. I'm wondering if there is a Facebook setting that will allow her to pick and choose which videos she wants to watch, kinda like the Youtube videos here. I'm not for sure the videos are the issue, that's just been my observation the couple of times I've seen it happen, thanks.
