Hi, Alison.

First of all, be sure you have recommended requirements so You can be Lynda.com user. It means you should have minimum screen resolution of 1024×768. It is recommended you can use players such as Apple QuickTime 7.5, Microsoft Windows Media Player 10 and Adobe Flash Player 9 or QuickTime 7.5.5 with Safari for Mac. 

Your browser must be Internet Explorer 7.0 (but the 64-bit Internet Explorer 7.0 is not supported), Firefox 3.0, Safari 4.1.2 and Google Chrome 11.0. Also should know that JavaScript and cookies must be enabled. At the speaking of Operating system you should have Windows XP SP3 or Mac OS X 10.4.11.

Now, let's see about this buffering problem. First, check Your Internet connection. You need an Internet connection with sufficient bandwidth and most lynda videos work best with a downstream bandwidth of at least 1 Mbps. If You have problems with buffering always not only with lynda.com videos Your problem can be slow connection or viruses. 

If it's not the problem try waiting until an entire video buffer and You should be able to watch it without any interruptions. You can also try this (although needs your patience but must try everything if You want to solve Your problem). Try changing buffer rate. 

You can do it in a way so that You right click on the top of media player and select Tools-Options-Performance. Change Preferences to a lower speed setting. It will make You wait longer until the video starts but that should will save You from buffering during the video.

Hope you'll figure out the problem.

Good luck.
