Try Reseting IE
Feb 15, 2009 7:31PM PST

Hi There Try to Re-set Internet Explorer there are caveats to this so you might want to read what it does online before proceeding.

To reset Internet Explorer to the default settings

1.Close any Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer windows that are currently open.
2. Open Internet Explorer.
3. Click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.
4. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Reset.
5. Select the Delete personal settings check box if you would like to remove browsing history, search providers, Accelerators, home pages, and InPrivate Filtering data.
6. In the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box, click Reset.
7. When Internet Explorer finishes restoring the settings, click Close, and then click OK.
Close Internet Explorer.
Your changes will take effect the next time you open Internet Explorer.

Hope This Helps Kindest Regards Tony B.
