instead of getting a page of information I get 1 line
Sounds like a problem with CSS. You could disable that very easily in IE by using View, Style, No Style (Alt-V y N).
Another potential workaround would be to use a different User-Agent string. E.g. you could use the Compatibility View button (torn page icon in the Address bar) if it is there. Otherwise use the Developer Tools, Browser menu (F12, Alt-B)
to try to force a different IE UAS. Using the Developer Tools, Change User Agent String tool you could even try spoofing a different make of browser to see if that would change your symptom (hopefully for the better <w>).
Both workaround would only apply to IE in Desktop mode. If you are using a modern UI fullscreen app (including IE) you will need to be more specific about your symptom description.
Good luck
