eSJayDee Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 One simple test, & not to be snide, but also a possible solution, is to use a different browser. This will (help) determine where the problem lies, ie w/ IE or if there's actually something wrong w/ the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure what you mean by different browser. I am using IE9 but dont know how to use a different browser besides IE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 I cant download anything as I am at work. The site has always worked and nothing has changed at all. Weird... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eSJayDee Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Well, if you're at work and someone is prohibiting you from using another browser, then it seems like it's their problem, not yours. Let them diagnose it. If you can't bother them w/ your problem, then maybe you shouldn't be looking at porn at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mismatch between the content type in the server's response header and the actual content type the server provided - a mismatch bad enough that IE couldn't resolve it. A different browser may or may not work. You might try a different browser mode as well, but I highly doubt that will help (hit F12, which brings up a developer's console. The far-right menu should have "Browser Mode" and "Document Mode", you can change those to IE8 or IE7. Worth a shot, but don't get your hopes up).
