Answer 2

In order to solve the issue, I suggest you reset the Internet Explorer settings following the instructions from Microsoft Support page. If this doesn't help, go to Start > Control Panel > Uninstall a program > Turn Windows features on or off, uncheck the Internet Explorer box and click OK. Reboot your computer, go again to Turn Windows feature on or off section and check the Internet Explorer box.
