Runtime Error displayed when attempting to access Forums

I've IE 9 installed on a Windows Home Premium box. When I attempt to access the Technet Forums the following is displayed

Server Error in '/Forums' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 Runtime Error 
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine. 

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".<!-- Web.Config Configuration File --><configuration><system.web><customErrors mode="Off"/></system.web></configuration> 

Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.<!-- Web.Config Configuration File --><configuration><system.web><customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/></system.web></configuration> 

I'm running IE 9 on another PC (Windows 7 Pro) and it is able to acess the Technet Forums with no problem (I'm using it to make this entry).

I've compared the settings on both browsers and they are identical. Why does IE on my Home Premium PC misbehave?

Thanks in advance.
