I'm no expert and I am not familiar with the newer versions of IE, but when had problems like this before I usually found the problem was with blocking cookies I didn't want blocked. I'd go to internet options> privacy> sites. There it lists all the cookies on you 'puter and if they are allowed or blocked. I don't think the normal disk cleaning clears all of these. If I couldn't find the one I was looking for I'd just clear the whole lot, then open the advanced privacy setting and tell it to "prompt" for all third part cookies. It means you will get a "privacy alert" the first time a site tries to place a cookie on your system and you will have to tell it "allow" or "block" (one time). It's a pain in the arse but it always cleared my opening problems. Having said all that, I found about a year ago that Firefox is a much better, easier, faster, and efficient browser than IE. Clearing specific cookies, cache, deleting files, and much more stuff is a lot more simple and there are many very helpful add ons. You should try it. Hope you get it fixed, being stuck with the cubs must be horrible.

dlmose - no good.  Thanks very much for the help.  You explained it perfectly and I followed your instructions to the tee but still locked in Cubs Wins world.  Starting to get angry.

Offsets one smartass, fat pig.  (Not by weight)

Thansk all.  Thread closed

Dynamite drop-in, Monty.

On the off chance that it may help in the future.  If you had preserve favorite website data checked when you cleared your cookies, the ones for WIS and HBD would have been preserved which would have been causing your problem.  When you ran the outside program, it bypassed that check and cleared all of your cookies.

You are right.  That was exactly the problem.  Everyone said just clear your cookies and your problem will be gone.  And it didn't.  All I needed to do is uncheck "preserve favorite website data" and that would have done it.  We know for the next time.  Thanks again. 

Speaking of cookies ..... Some people are just fat, gross, disgusting and ugly haters but you can't blame them.  This is what happens to fat pigs with 4 chins when their blood sugar goes down.  They hate and they worship Derek Jeter.  Instead of fighting with them,  just get them a cookie, their blood sugar should stabilize, and all should be well.  Except when they come to they still have to sleep with the disgusting Woolly Mammoth that they call their wife, who is actually fatter then them.  Oh well, its all about the cookies.  

Too easy.
