I installed IE8 I have Windows XP service pack 3. When I WATCH Videos on-line for example a TV Show and when I RECORD music the CPU goes to 100% and the video looks shopping and the music i'm recording locks up than after a while it is normal again than goes back to 100%. Is anyone else having this trouble and how can I get around this? I don't have any trouble playing music or watching a DVD when IE8 IS CLOSED. So i'm almost positive it hassomething to do with IE8. lots of people have had problems with IE8...I try to avoid using it or installing it when servicing people's computers..


What version of Windows are you running?  What service packs?

I have Windows XP and Service Pack 3, when I try to play on-line TV Shows - the video either freezes up or runs very slow, since installed IE8. Is there a way to make the video play normal again? i have the compatibilty view button clicked it HELPED somewhat. The cpu in the Windows Task Manager goes to 100% when I try to view a video not sure why?It would be helpful to know how much memory and AVAILABLE HD space you have.I have 970MB and a 80G Hard Drive, When I play  DVD I have no trouble at all on my computer  I have the problem ONLY when I view video on-line and using IE8I'm thinking that you could seriously use some more ram.970MB of RAM is perfectly fine with XP.
How much free space on that 80GB hard drive?

If that's the amount of free space on the drive then there is your issue...True. 960 maybe...
