Have you tried this registry patch?

http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/RepairTabs.reg
1) Restores the missing Tabs in IE (usually spyware related)
2) Unlocks the grayed-out Home Page section
3) Removes the Administrator message in Internet Options

Download, right-click and select merge.

Reboot and test.

If WinXP SP2, try
iexplore /rereg
from Start | Run while IE is closed. It may require a restart.

I'm no expert on those logs, but I'm very uncomfortable with all that
