    is windows up to date ?

    is IE up to date (ie. IE EIght ofor XP , 9 for later)

    it could be a dns/old browser problem - have you tried putting in the www. worth a try, even on sites that drop it

    This is usually a bug in IE6 or IE7 with certain scripts. Upgrading to IE8 or 9 will sort it. Or use a different browser, whatever suits.
