First of all, try closing as many other programs as possible. The more things you have open the slower your computer will be, and the slower your video will buffer.
Secondly, try deleting your temporary internet files. Just go to control panel > internet options > General > temporary internet files – Delete. When you load videos information is stored here so freeing it will help.
If this doesn’t help then you could try downloading a program called ‘Speed Bit’. Its designed to help your videos load faster. I use it and it actually helps. Its free and available from http://download.cnet.com/windows/ just type it into the search box on the website. ONLY download it from this website, as this website is guaranteed virus free.

Other than these option the only other way would be to upgrade the RAM on your computer, but that costs money unfortunately 🙁

Hope this helps.
