Normally problems such as this one are due to add-ons, but i'm sensing this is a clean installation? If not, try running IE in No Add-ons mode, and see if the problem persists. For those who dont know how, you click start orb then select programs, accessories, system tools, Internet Explorer (no add-ons): I would add a screen shot, but apparently i cant use img tags on this board !? You should be able to identify the Add-on by disabling each in turn, if the above seemed to solve the problem. The next suggestion would be an IE reset, but lets see how this works out first. Let us know how you get on
