When going to my portal I've got this message..
Template->make_filename(): Error - file layout/a does not exist
I've checked my files are there and double checked my SQL queries too.

it should not be looking for "a" unless you made a layout and named it "a"
It should be looking for layout/portal_body.tpl, or layout/3_column.tpl or whatever layout you are using

I didn't change anything - how odd!
I've uninstalled for now and will try again when I'm fresh <img>

the IM Portal package includes two layouts. they are found in the templates/subSilver/layout folder. you should have layout1.tpl and portal_body.tpl. You should also have layout1.cfg and portal_body.cfg.
When you first install IM Portal, it will use portal_body.tpl as the default page. The subSilver files have to be copied to all installed templates

It would appear you have edited the code in the wrong place.... double check you code edits in overall_ header and footer
Do you have a link...

The first thing you need to find out is whether it's a browser quirk or the server side code that is causing the problem.
To do this, view your page in IE, with the blocks in that odd position, then right click the page and go to 'view source'. Copy all the code from there and paste it into a temporary static file with a .htm extension. Now try viewing this page in Firefox - if it displays correctly, then the problem is in IE's treatment of one of the tags. If it displays the same as it was in IE - incorrectly - then the problem is in the way the code is sending data based on the browser requesting it.
Having established where the problem lies, you can now go about finding the source of it. Assuming the above page displays correctly in firefox, run the page through the [url=http]W3 Parser[/url] - this will tell you which elements may be wrong and at least give you a starting point for debugging the page. Try changing one element at a time in the page and keep checking it in IE until the problem is resolved, then identify where that element comes from in the source code (php or tpl) and correct it there.
Hope that helps <img>
