I haven't had any problems with Explorer in Windows though I did for mac. You may need to clear your history with Expl but I dared not suggest cache otherwise any auto sign ins you have will be lost. That happened to me lol. Um ... I don't suppose you'd consider instlling a new browser as a backup? Not only downlds have I had issues with one browser which is why a 2ndary backup browser always comes in handy.
Firefox (click on link) is supposed to be one of the new wave & top of its class browsers around. Check it out.
This person sorted their installation issue though a bit different:
