Check to see that the pop-up blocker is disabled:

open Internet Explorer
click on Tools in the menu bar
click Popup Blocker
select Turn Off Pop Up blocker
click on Tools again
select Internet Options
click on the Privacy tab
uncheck Block Popups

This can also be done by:

clicking on Tools
selecting Internet Options
clicking on the Privacy tab
unchecking Block Pop Ups

Turn off add-on toolbars, from the menu bar of Internet Explorer:

select View
highlight Toolbars and then uncheck Yahoo, Google, MSN, AOL, Viewpoint, Starbar, or any other toolbars.

Disable third party browser extensions within Internet Explorer:

click Tools
click on the Advanced tab
uncheck Enable Third Party Browser Extensions (this is located under the BROWSING category)

Be sure that java is installed, and that there is only one version of java enabled.

open Internet Explorer
click on Tools
select Internet Options
click on the Advanced tab
scroll down about halfway to the Multimedia category
just above are the java listings, you will see Microsoft VM, Sun, JRE or IBM Java.

The preferred type of java is Sun JRE (version1.3.1_02 or higher). If you do not have Java installed, go to http://www.java.com to install the latest version. After installing, restart your machine. Be sure that only one type of java is enabled-if more than one type has boxes checked, uncheck all boxes in the type(s) that you do not want to use. To test Java functionality, go to http://www.java.sun.com/applets/other, and click on the Bouncing Heads link. If this item displays activity and sound, Java is functioning properly.
