Thousands of people are having this problem. It appears to be an issue with
NBC.com  thinking you have a tablet PC.

I have a Wacom tablet connected to my HP Vista Machine w/sp1.

Here is the simple solution that I found that worked for me:

The tablet version of xp and vista install a custom user-agent for IE that
makes nbc.com think it’s a mobile device. http://www.nbc.com is forwarding
tablets to nbc.starcut.us, which is a wap compatible version of
http://www.nbc.com for mobile devices.

This is a band-aid but remove the following registry key, delete the IE
cache, and close all browsers and http://www.nbc.com starts working again.
