Flightradar24 does not work any more

[L-E]

I started following flightradar24 during the Islandic ash times. At that time I had no problems with the program, I just went to flightradar24.com and everything worked fine. Now, for some time, the program does not work at all on my computer, a quite fast machine equipped with Windows XP and with a lot of internal memory and an extra harddesk so there should be no problem with lack of memory.
The problem is as follows: when I go to flightradar24.com I get there, the program opens but very sluggishly. After a while I get the airplanes and the airfields but I can never click on a plane and get further. After that I get an announcement that the program is "not responding". When I check with the Windows Task Manager it shows that the capacity of the CPU is used to 100% and there is no networking going on at all. The computer is totally blocked, I cannot end the program, I cannot use any other program, I cannot even close the flightradar through the Task Manager, I have to close the computer by tearing out the electricity cable off the wall.
What can I do to solv this problem?
All my other programs work perfectly when the flightradar is not in use.

What browser do you use?

[L-E]

Internet Explorer. I don't know what version but it was created on Feb 2 2010 by the man who installed a second harddesk in my computer. The size of the file is 803 bytes and the size on desk is 4096 bytes. I suppose that the version is the newest one, 9?, and that he took it down from Microsoft's homepages.
