A possible help:
Open a new notepad session, to be called IE_fix.cmd, and copy/paste the below:
regsvr32 urlmon.dll
regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 Msjava.dll
regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Browseui.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll
Save the file, then double click IE_fix.cmd and answer the prompts. Ignore any error messages.
Reboot and test again.
