It looks like from what I interpret in the page source that it is supposed to
load a Flash plugin.  It doesn't.  It does however popup a window with no problem.

I receive the following error in the JavaScript Console:

1 instance:
Warning: assignment to undeclared variable numPlugins
Source File: http://www.needforspeed.com/porsche/pc_detect.html
Line: 70

2 instances (unrelated):

I think I found the problem you referred to:
The text "English PC" links to "http://pc_detect.html".  This should link to
"http://www.needforspeed.com/porsche/pc_detect.html" like the image.
