If your OS is winXP you do know that IE9 will not work with Windows XP,

I'm no expert but did you try a re-boot.

IE is crap anyone will tell you that, stick with Chrome or Firefox etc.

Im in the same boat. Only its with Firefox that anything requiring flash wont work. Am now using IE9 as everything seems to work fine with that. On Dailymotion I get an "error 2002" message.
I've tried all the usual uninstalls and re-boots, still no joy
