Hi Andrew:

Could be a problem add-on or browser helper object.

Try this:

Control Panel > Internet Options > Advanced
- Look for "Enable Third Party Browser Extensions"
If there is a "check" in the box beside it, remove the check and OK your
way out.

If Internet Explorer works OK then one or more browser add-ons is causing
the problem.
