I have gone over the entire file including validating and sniffing out missing or out-of-place characters.

I have also removed all but a couple lines of the CSS file and tried this as well.

Internet Explorer is simply not showing CSS while FF, Chrome, and Safari all have no issues.

Anybody know of a setting in IE that may have been changed or a possible schema I am missing/using that could cause this?

    Maybe it’s the fact that you have an extra <head> tag within your <head> tag that’s confusing IE?

    <head>
<!-- snip other stuff ... -->
<head profile="http://www.w3.org/2005/10/profile">

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.**************.css" />

    If removing that doesn’t work, then I would recommend trying to produce a minimal example that demonstrates your problem. Start by removing all of the content, except for an example to show that the style isn’t being applied. Then remove more and more of your headers and code, until you find a small example in which the problem is still present, but it has nothing other than the bare minimum to demonstrate the problem. The process of doing that might help you to find your own problem; but if not, then you can post a complete example here, by editing your question, and we can give better advice based on actual code that demonstrates the problem, as opposed to an incomplete excerpt that doesn’t contain enough information to determine what’s wrong. Remember to post both the HTML and CSS for your example.
