I have been considering uninstalling IE and re-installing it to see if that would help - though I am sure you would have advised this already if it was a good idea. Looking at all my programs in the control panel - I can't even see Internet Explorer listed there to uninstall it - only the Google toolbar. When I use IE, even with it's limits, it is like something is missing - only certain pages I have saved in my favourites bar, work and I can get as far as putting in a search phrase, but when I click on a any search link, nothing happens. Like I say, it's as if half of what is needed to make IE work, is missing. Does this suggest anything to you?
