IE 6 Will not open; No Error Message?!?!

I have Windows XP on 2 of my comptuers and both of them
come up with this condition: Internet explorer will simply
not open. The hourglass comes up for a second or two and
goes away.

The only way to fix this is to restart the computer, and
that only works for a limited period of time (anywhere
from 1 minute to an hour or so). On one of the two
affected computers I have all of the Windows XP and IE
updates and no updates on the other.

I can access the Internet through other means like a link
in Outlook Express...

Can someone please help?


Thanks in advance,

Josh
 
I suspect Parasites. Check these out also.

IE 6.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit is with these

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.
