this is my test site http://www.microsscreativednntest.co.uk/ it works fine in FF and Chrome any ideas why this is happening

It looks just fine to me in IE.

My guess would be that your IE has a bad address cached for the site. The easiest way to cure that is by clearing your browser's cache.

If that fails, install Fiddler and that can help show you what might be happening ... but you'll have to spend a few minutes figuring out how to use Fiddler -- some something simple like following the http traffic, you shouldn't have much of a problem.

Hi thanks for the reply, after I moved it from the test server to the live server the site works fine in IE I guess I will need to check the test environment, on my live site I can login however when I click the admin tab I get

Internal Server Error

this is in the address bar ?
Default.aspx?tabid=65&error=Object+reference+not+set+to+an+instance+of+an+object.&content=0

any idea why this is happening

I figured it I had removed one of the skins
