Check the version of your windows media player. Some of the older version does not support ripping CD's. try updating to the latest windows media player version.

Hi.
Based on the information you have provided, it seems that the issue is due to the Adobe Flash Player.
All the Games on Facebook require Adobe Flash player.
Hence, it would be better to install the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player.
Before installing the latest version, it is required to un-install the version which is already installed in the Computer.
Then, install the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player.
You may un-install the older version of the Adobe Flash Player by using the "Add or Remove Programs" feature.
Once you have un-installed the older version of the Flash player, then you may install the latest version.

Macromedia Flash Player was installed on your computer at some stage. This player is used by a few WEB sites which displays movie like (Flash) files. When you go to a WEB site which displays Flash files, Macromedia can detect an older version of the Flash Player and prompts you to install a latest version of the Flash Player.

What you need to do is Click tools,Manage add ons,and disable Adobe flash player,You can look for an older version such as 9 and download it.You can uninstall adobe and install the older version.This should fix all the freezes in IE8.

You've been bitten by the Vista virus. You can not automatically install it with a firewall enabled. Download the installer, exit your browser, and then run the installer locally as admin.

This is a nice site for old versions of programs (including flash):
