I have a problem using Last-FM Player while using Internet Explorer 9. simply put Player refuses to run period. When IE9 is uninstalled, Player plays; also plays when Firefox is the browsser ( Please no comments on the merits of using Internet Explorer as I am a loyal Internet Exlorer user.).

Quick note, I just deleted a reply post that was spamming web sites and had nothing to do with your problem
Better answer;
It is quite likely that IE9's better security has kicked in, or that the Flash Plugin on your IE is not working. Can I assume you have recently upgraded from IE8 to IE9? And if so, if you uninstall IE9 to revert back to IE8, everything works OK?
If yes to all those then the problem may be in IE9's newer security. Try these steps;
In IE9, goto Tools, (the gear icon), > Internet Options, then the Security tab.
Ensure the green internet globe is highlighted. Turn off "Enable Protected Mode, (requires restarting IE9)". Then click the Custom Level button.
In the new window scroll down, way down, to find "Scripting", near the bottom, then "Active Scripting" and enable that. Click OK then Apply/OK. Restart the browser and test. If you get a bar across the bottom of the browser saying some content has been blocked, allow the content.
If the test fails perhaps your Flash plugin needs upating. Use IE9 to go to http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ and test the Flash Plugin. If it fails the test, I would uninstall Flash from IE using Adobe's own uninstaller here; http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
Close down all browsers and run that, (it will uninstall Flash for all browsers).
When done, return to Adobe at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ to install Flash Player again. BEWARE! That web page offers an "optional extra". Read it carefully otherwise you may get something you don't want. If you don't want it, remove the tick in that page before downloading.
This should download and install the latest version of Flash for all browsers.
I hope that helps.

I.unchecked the protected mode (only the protected mode) and Last FM played. Restored protected mode.and Last FM would not play. Active script was Already enabled.
to give you a better idea here is some background. Internet Explorer 9 was installed the day I got my new computer on March 30th 2012 Problem did not appear until July 1st. Have tried the following with no success.
Unstalled IE 9 and Explorer 8 let Last FM play. Reinstalled IE 9 and same problem. reset IE 9 settings to default. Uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Flashplayer, Ran Mr Fix-it Troubleshooter As a last resort I ever did a Factory Rset of my system.
At least now I feel that things are going in the right direction but, I don't want to run IE 8 and give up the increase security of IE 9 or disable protected mode for the same reason.
Any other ideas?
Yes I believe Protected Mode

was introduced in IE9.
It's a security feature of course but I see no way to configure it, like allowing certain web sites but not others, so it just seems to be an on/off option.
I think the purpose is, if you need to visit a web site that you know collects information from you, you can turn Protected Mode on and so continue using the site with a degree of confidence.
Glad to see you got the station working.

No, not Protected Mode

Now the only thing that works is too uninstall IE9 and use IE8. Back to the drawind board. Last FM open source going to download and try to debug. will keep all informed
Ahh, sorry I got confused.

Where you said, "I.unchecked the protected mode (only the protected mode) and Last FM played" I figured we had cracked it, and where you turned Protected Mode back on and Last FM failed again, I was thinking that was the final test, the confirmation.
So, turning Protected Mode back off didn't work then, not even after a reboot?

In a word no

I'm going to play around with Adobe Flash and Java and see what happens.
