It is probably not Internet Explorer that is broken, but the home page that is saved to open when you launch IE.  Try typing www.google.com into the Address Location and see if Google does not show up correctly.



If this works, please change your home page by following these instructions:


  1. Open Internet Explorer, under the menu select the Tools button, or select the Gear icon located in the upper-right , and then select Internet options.
  2. On the General tab, under Home page, enter the URL of the site you want to set as a home page. You can add more than one URL, or add the site you're currently viewing by selecting Use current. If you add more than one URL, put each URL on its own line.
  3. Select Apply, and then select OK. The next time you open a new browsing session or window (or select the Home button ), your home pages will be loaded automatically.
