I'd like to rule-out the possibility of a browser-specific issue.

Would you mind installing Chrome?

Also, would it be possible for you to upgrade to IE 9?

Here's the error detail. It happens when I try to view themes other than the random ones. When I try to load "A to Z" the page loads but says done but with errors on page and then when I click preview it just keeps trying but never actually does anything.

And no...I don't have another machine or browser available at present.

Could you post the exact error message you're seeing when you try to preview?
Also, do you happen to have another browser, machine, or internet connection that you can test with?

I have chosen a theme.....but wanted to preview others but all of a sudden I can't do this. It starts to load but then says done with an error on the page and just gets stuck loading.
