Selenium RC fails to setup Internet Explorer to run tests

Question

So I created a test that runs fine in fire fox super.setUp("*chrome");. And now I try to run this on my machine for internet explorer super.setUp("*iexplore"); //not iexplorer!. This works fine on another developers machine, we both use vista and are running Iexplorer 8. However on my machine, the page is blank and the URL is this: C:\Users\redacted\AppData\Local\Temp\customProfileDir15c5153368d540e5961588c11781c0b3\core\Blank.html. What could be causing this...? Also super.setUp(); causes the same problem..
