IE8 freezes/hangs with video Web sites?

[Ant]

Hello.



Is there a known issue with Internet Explorer v8.0, in old Windows XP,

freezing/hanging on various video Web sites? My friend and others, on

http://www.videosift.com/talk/This-site-keeps-getting-hung-up, say

people are having problems there and other video Web sites (e.g.,

http://www.roblox.com/).



Thank you in advance.

Hi,

First clear the Temporary Internet Files.



Then:

Troubleshoot Adobe Flash Player installation for Windows:

and

jd-adobe Troubleshooting Flash Player stability and performance:

Or, it might be a bandwidth/traffic issue with no solution on the user's

end.

Hope this helps,

They say it doesn't happen on Firefox but if the sequence is

1. use IE until it hangs

2. try Firefox



perhaps they should try a new sequence:

1. use Firefox until it hangs

2. try IE



What conclusions would be drawn then? )
