@chirag
Re-installation should not be one of the point, when you have the option for contacting Dev

if you mean reinstallation of new build then its fine

launch IE in a debugger ( windbg/cdb) and see if you can pick up any first chance exceptions.

* Install on a clean machine instead of upgrade
* Check any settings not enabled
