i solved the problem,
somehow 'my current home page' got enabled in the customize desktop. i just unchecked the box and that seemed to solve the problem.

Hi
click on start menu THEN HIT run and type regsvr32 /i Mshtml.dll AFTER THAT HIT OK BOTTON THEN AGAIN OK BOTTON AND THAT'S ALL.
THIS TIP WORKS WITH MOST PC OS.
