Excellent.
Go here and see if it can find any missing drivers for you:
Intel® Driver Update Utility
After we get all these figured out and you have a strong baseline system, we can start installing silverlight and see if the issue persists.
Ok, everything looks good there but for some reason on my audio drivers it tries to use the Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1255 (Model 22xxx, Hybrid ATSC/QAM) and says the device in unknown or unsupported. But if I look under Device Manager > Sound, video and game controllers I have 3 listed the Hauppauge device, High definition audio device, and Intel Display Audio.
On what Audio drivers in what program?
If there are no more exclamation marks, create a restore point, then install the latest silverlight and see if the netflix issue is still there.
Is there any way to connect your machine with a cable to the router?
It said that where I checked the Intel drivers from your link.
I'll go ahead and create a restore point.
Aside from unplugging it and moving it into the living room next to the router, nope. Do you think that could make much of a difference. I haven't had any problems with the wireless.
Depending on the wireless card, it can add a lot of overhead to intensive streaming, causing some much higher CPU usage. That's the only reason I ask.
Ok, I'll remember that as something to try later but I know it worked fine with it. I've had that wireless adapter installed since last May. Are we ready for me to download and install the latest version of Silverlight?
Yea, go ahead and download and see how it goes. There's no more exclamation points in Device Manager, right?
I still have an exclamation point for the Universal Serial Bus Controller. But my USB ports seem to be working fine.
Try downloading and running the chipset installation utility again.

Except this time, create a desktop shortcut to the exe, then right click on the shortcut and add " -overall" to the target line after the .exe. So the target line should read something like:
"C:\....\infinst_autol.exe" -overall
Click OK, then right click on the shortcut and run as administrator. See if that removes the exclamation point.
Ok did that again and the yellow exclamation point is still there. Also installed silverlight and tried out Netflix and had the exact same results as before. The video starts off playing fine but then within a minute of playback the video begins to lag the audio and cpu usage jumps up around 90%.
If I play the video from this site, everything works fine though (no lag, dropped frames, audio and video in sync)
