There is an issue with some versions of Adobe Flash Player conflicting with Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP.
The end result is that any pages with Flash elements (ads/videos/etc) will glitch up and the browser will appear to flicker.
How to resolve it is to download the latest Flash Player from Adobe.
Get it from one of these two links:
Direct from Adobe - if the webpage allows you to - http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
Direct link from Adobe - http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Download, close all browser windows, run it, and then fire back up IE and the problem is fixed.
This issue also resolves problems being unable to play Youtube videos.
