Try Macromedia (Adobe)Flash Player 8.0 r22 (link: http://flash-samara.ru/version_eng.html ) (If you still lag, you'll probably want to try any Flash 9 or 10)
You will also need to log-in on FFR in IE (not Firefox or Chrome, really IE) and make sure you check "Remember me" and go in tools, internet options, security and uncheck "Protected mode" because the new engine is somehow being blocked by it.
If you're on Windows 7 like post above said put Classic view.
If you still lag try to change your colors to 16 bits. (probably more on XP or Vista)
That's basically killing services/process that could barely affect in-game for some reasons but it shouldn't make much difference, it's just in case you still lag.
If you're still having lag, it's probably drivers or something unrelated. >:
Just saying thanks.
I didn't know much about standalones before, however had considerable concerns that either it wouldn't record scores, or my FFR Keymap wouldn't work with it.
I followed your advice, and everything works perfectly.
