I'm thinking that maybe the computer itself. The video will start to work, a black screen, then will quickly disappear. The old computer is very hard to find a video card that will work, ddr. I installed Lite on a brand new 160 G HHD. It was very speedy at first then I let Lite upgrade and it became very slow and sticky after that.I hope I am not out of line for talking about other versions of linux on this forum, but if you want something that will run on a really old clunky machine, I have had a lot of luck with puppy precise retro. It is sort of limited, but I have been watching youtube videos on machines with as little as 512 RAM. Adding a swap file helps. I don't think too many people have managed to run Netflix on puppy though. That is what got me trying Linux lite. Netflix is running smooth as butter for me!
I have Lite installed on and older Acer small laptop and it works great on it. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get Lite to work better?
