Thanks to everyone who tried to help me out with this however none of these recommendations resolved the issue. I just got off the phone with MicroSoft's "Pay Per Incident" support with a resolution.
Since some others were experiencing the same thing I thought I'd post the resolution here. After an hour of checking system start-up and configuration files with no resolution the MicroSoft Rep recommended making the following change to my Internet Explorer settings:
Launch Internet Explorer >>> Tools >>> Internet Options >>> Advanced >>> Uncheck "Enable Third-Party Browser Extensions (requires restart)" >>> Apply >>> Restart
This fixed the problem! Is also resolved another issue I was having. I kept getting an Error Message in Internet Explorer when using the browser's back button. The message basically required me to close down the browser and start over. Anyway, it's fixed now!
So, if you're having either of these problems that's the answer!
