You should download and use the Firefox browser instead.

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

It's much much better than IE.

    To be Honest, internet explorer is not my taste of good web surfing, Its slow and horrible. So I use Mozilla firefox instead. Its much faster to use and browse videos. Its a much better experience than Internet Explorer.

    Firefox is getting more popular, you should try it.

    If you like to still use Internet explorer though, try clearing all your internet cache, history, ect... out. Reset all your internet settings. If the problem still persists look in the help section or re-downloadd Internet explorer.

    For a better and easier web surfing experience heres the link for Mozilla firefox web browser:

    Trust me, its much better

    It does,too but if u have Internet Explorer 7 it sucks. Download Mozilla Firefox, it is free and is like 8 times faster than IE.

    if you have iTunes you can download Safari for free its just like IE except much faster...

    But, there are no security packs like Norton on it... so be careful what sites you go on...
