Open IE | Tools | Internet Options | 'General' tab | Delete all Temporary Internet files.

Check for damaged files in ..\downloaded program files (also accessed via IE | Tools | Internet Options | "General" tab | "Settings" button (under Temporary Internet Files), "View Objects" button. If any are found, right click each one and select 'Update' or 'Delete' depending on what they are, and whether they're needed.

Also, either one or both of the following MSKB articles may be of some help to you...
