Go to TOOLS > INTERNET OPTIONS and click on "Clear History", then "Delete Files" (check the box too), and lastly "Delete Cookies". Close your browser and open it again. You should be OK after that.

Looks like you haven't updated your browser in a while. More on that in a second. You can delete the files by going through the same steps as before except click on "Settings" then "View Files". Now go to Edit and choose "select all" then go to File and choose "delete". What happens is your computer stores little records of the pages your looking at. Over time this gets to be a lot of junk and it can slow things down. Also, your computer will sometimes show those pages according to the info stored. You can always "refresh" everything by pushing "F5" if you want to.

Now to the updating. You may want to do this when your done working on the computer because it can take a while to download:

You can update it by going to TOOLS > WINDOWS UPDATE. Just follow the instructions from there.
