You could try disabling your IE8 add-ons then re-enable them one at a time to try and track down if any are causing the problem.

That said, have you considered upgrading to IE9?

To be honest it's probably a browser issue, at least as far as my own experience goes. Try upgrading to Internet Explorer 9 or switching to another popular browser such as Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari or Opera. I could never get IE8 to stop failing to respond, but someone else may be able to help you if you really don't want to switch browsers

cocod2 Upgrading to another browser really is quite painless and doesn't take much time, if you're going to change eventually you might as well do it now Anyway, try reading through this article on managing IE7 and IE8 addons.

I have had IE 8 for a long time and about a month ago I started getting that problem. I tend to think it must be an update that has caused it.

it happens on facebook
and then I click the mouse in a blank spot and it is ok again
or if I am on an email it happens

Please give us more information about your system, your specs, your IE addons, extensions and accelerators. Do you have an antivirus (which one)? Have you recently scanned your system for malicious files? Did you try reseting all IE settings? Cleaning browser history? Cookies? Passwords? Did you try turning off any addons, as already suggested?
