You could try turning on Compatibility View.  I've had a lot of problems with web pages in work and turning this on has solved a lot of problems:

Let us know if this solves the problem.

Try this solution for the problem:

In IE, Click Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced Tab and then uncheck "Enable third-party browser extensions"... after you uncheck that option, restart your browser and try to cause the error.  If the error goes away, it was an add-on.  Now, once you know it is an add-on you can reanble add-ons and then disable them one by one in Tools -> Manage Addons to find the offending culprit.  

The Skype plugin can cause this problem, but others could easily be the culprit too.

Again let me know and then we will break out the team of NI-Wild Geeks.  I'm not a fully qualified geek yet  ::)

Few Qs:
1) Does this only happen in one thread?
2) If it happens in more than one thread does it consistently or sometimes the thread works and sometimes it doesn't?
3) Can you tell me what version of IE you are using (click help -> about)?
4) Does the website work in other browsers (Chrome / Firefox)?

Cheers.

 it varies

2) If it happens in more than one thread does it consistently or sometimes the thread works and sometimes it doesn't?
will run some tests later

3) Can you tell me what version of IE you are using (click help -> about)? 8.0.6001 etc

4) Does the website work in other browsers (Chrome / Firefox)?
don't have those options on this computer

also, due to some computerwizardy i can run another window with ie8 using another server (a sort of proxy system) this works fine but takes me ages to login, uses exact same version of ie8, i think i'll just go through all the settings and make sure they match

You've an extra "n" in the www.ni-wild.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2418.msg25379

Not sure how it's ended up there but is shouldn't be.  What a mischievous scamp that little "n" is eh  ::)
