It sounds like the window is getting opened, however it is located outside of the visible area of the screen, therefore maximizing it allows you to view it.
I dont think a reinstall of IE will fix the issue! you just need to find the prefs for IE and trash them.
Here is what I would try, delete the registry key located at:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Document Windows
Than logoff/login and relaunch IE, that should resolve the issue
If that doesnt fix it just delete the whole IE key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
Than logoff/login and relaunch IE
Good Luck!

edit: Why dont I think that a reinstall will resolve the issue?
Because reinstalling will use the prefs that were created before and will not remove them.
