Videos pause to load and I've exhausted all Adobe and Chrome Help

Question

I have been to several Help pages for Adobe and Chrome looking for the silver bullet to get my videos from Acorn.tv to play/stream without loading pauses.

For Adobe Flash Player Help, I went to this web page and was able to enhance my system per all the suggestions listed on the page:

Flash Player games, video, or audio don't work | Windows

In the last couple of hours I have successfully downloaded the following on my Win 7 64-bit PC: Chrome 39.0.2171 (deinstalled then reinstalled), Adobe Flash Player 16.0.0.235.

When I play a video from Acorn.tv, I right clicked on the video, selected Settings..., and unchecked 'Enable hardware acceleration'; the menu that displays correctly displays 'About Adobe Flash Player 16.0.0.235'

I have rebooted Win7 after each new Chrome and Adobe Flash Player install.

The only odd thing I noticed is that when I went to the AFP Help web page mentioned above, it displayed that 'Your OS' is Windows 7 (32-bit), but I definitely have a 64-bit OS.

When I enter chrome://plugins in a Chrome tab, Adobe Flash Player correctly is displayed in the list as 16.0.0.235, is enabled and 'Always allowed' is checked

I feel I have exhausted all the online Help. Does someone have any other avenues to explore?

I hate to have to say this, but this specific forum is to discuss how the forums themselves work, not for help with programs
