Windows? Press F12, to see what version of IE you now have. It's likely to gave upgraded to IE10, which has some compatibility issues with some site features. You can always use the F12 option to run in IE9 instead.
Why is it that people who can't take advice always insist on giving it?

Press F12, click on the tab for ie10, it will drop down and show prior versions. Just choose ie9 there (it'll be something like Compatibility mode).

I did the F12 thing just out of curiosity and this is what it came up with (no word of a lie) :
