Hi Srini,
I don't have the environment to reproduce your problems, but to test if
there is a conflict with IE Add-ons is easy.
Just disable 'Third party browser helpers' on the Advanced tab in Internet
Options.
You may also have a better response from the Office newsgroups as this seems
to be the vein of your problems.
