What version of Internet Explorer are you using? Try using a 3rd party browser such as www.mozilla.org

I've started using mozilla.org at home and here in the office... haven't had any probs yet... i'm enjoying the tabs... :)

Try to repair IE (this is for IE6):

1. Click start, cursor up to settings, then click control panel.
2. Next, click add/remove programs.
3. Scroll down to "Microsoft Internet Explorer& Tools..".
4. Highlight it, then click add/remove.

A box pops up, with the option to repair.
Select it, and allow it to run it's course.

Reboot.
