Problems using my computer on Facebook

I have a Dell home computer with Windows XP and Explorer 6 installed. When I go to my FACEBOOK page on another computer I see the site in bold colors and graphics and I can send messages, confirm and invite friends. When I log in on my home computer - I can do nothing. The webpage is a stark white with the menu on the left side of the screen with black letters. I can see pictures but no graphics at all. Do I have something blocking the way the site is supposed to look? Please help I am very frustrated. I have emailed FACEBOOK twice in the past 2 weeks and I have heard nothing. This is really driving me crazy!
Thanks

You could try updating to IE7 (you know IE8 coming out soon too) Internet Explorer: Get It Now (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx)

Well there's Adobe Flash Player to do: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash
Java Update: http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1
MS Updates: http://www.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx

And I'd suggest uninstalling any 3rd party Firewall
Updating your AntiVirus, and running a full scan

That's what I'd do

Oh and run CCleaner through your system too : http://download.piriform.com/ccsetup212.exe
