Try bypassing the launcher as described here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps/td-p/714/
This is just for testing purposes to see if the game itself works. If you bought the base game after September 2012, this method will not work.
As for your error, try resetting IE to factory settings.
