Thank you very much david for replying.

Here is my version of internet explorer.
I have all critical updates. According to this
i shouldnt even need a critical update for this.
It is already included with my version.

This is really frustrating me.

what bothers me about the whole system is can we
trace back to verify yes i have the specific fix
installed related to this or no it is not installed.

In the meantime i have disabled downloads in a all
security zones.
