Here is another avenue to investigate:

One website that I visit has a compatibility problem with IE10.  They
mentioned that one can change the Browser mode of IE10 back to IE9 or a
few other choices without going through the un-install/re-install
procedures by opening IE10 and going to the menubar and changing the
browser mode.  There is also a document mode roll-back option as well. 
Perhaps document mode 9 might solve your issue.

That would be something to try.
