I would try to reset the browser completely. This option is in Internet Options --> Advanced. There's a reset button on that page. Another window should come up letting you know you're about to reset everything (IE7 just allows you to reset or cancel, IE8 allows you to choose what you want to reset). Make sure you understand what you're resetting and once you're ok with that, hit the button and wait. You'll have to restart IE afterward.
If this doesn't fix it, you may want to check to see if your computer has some type of browser hijack in it. Alternatively, reinstalling (or upgrading) Internet Explorer will most likely solve this problem.
If none of that works, you might have something else going on in your computer. Remember that Internet Explorer is closely tied to Windows Explorer so if one is having an issue, then the other will as well.
Unlike the other posters here, I don't like skirting problems by "just using another browser", especially with Internet Explorer because like I said, bigger problems with your machine can show up later.
I, personally have no issues with Internet Explorer and I have yet to meet someone that can prove to me that any other browser is better than one another.
