Do you have any other links or scripts above your X-UA-Compatible meta tag in your <head>? If so this might be causing the problem.

Also make sure to check the compatibility settings in your browser itself by going to:

Tools --> Compatability View Settings

There are several possible explanations, such as HTTP headers overriding the meta tag, domain name being blacklisted by Microsoft, or your local admin having forced IE to Compatibility mode. For a description of some possibilities and possible cures, check out IE8 and IE9 Complications in “Activating Browser Modes with Doctype”.
