IE 8 not displaying some websites

I have Windows XP, SP3 and IE8. When I access the TomTom website, all I get
is 'Waiting for www.tomtom.com' in the notification area. Several most other
sites display, secure (https://) ones also hang.
Microsoft Security Essentials and SpyWare Blaster are running. I've tried
with SpyWare Blaster removed - still the same result.

Checked machine with Microsoft Security Essentials & Malwarebytes - no
nasties detected.

Suggestions please.

Keith

You are waiting for the server you are connecting to to do something.

If YOUR machine was the problem, you'd not connect to any server instead of
not connecting to some servers.

That is exactly how it looks to me. So how come my neighbour can connect
(and re-connect) to the TomTom site at the same time that I get the Waiting
message?
