    Have you tried the Silverlight 5 RC? That is the only fix I have found to make Netflix somewhat tolerable on the PC.

    Here’s the deal with that.  I installed Silverlight 5 RC about a month ago and it did not solve the problem.  Also something else that I noticed that I found strange…before installing 5 I had looked at cpu useage during Netflix playback and it was around 13%.  When I installed 5 and checked cpu useage it was around 50%.  Also after the install of 5, the movie that I tested with didn’t even look like it was in HD any more (G.I. Joe).  I ended up having do a system restore because of another problem I was having, and I just decided to wait on Silverlight 5 to see if it matures any and I am forced to update it.

    Josh, my cpu is an E6600, and I have 2gb RAM.
