Thank you for getting back to me cyberchimps and for the advice WPyogi.
I am hoping this is a simple fix.
I have posted an image of how the menu appears through my IE9, Win 7 environment for me:

Disabling plug-ins has not solved the problem so I am thinking it is something else. If this is just a MY computer thing I am okay with that but for now I obviously need to assume others are experiencing similar issues.
Thanks for the guidance.
