When I restart my computer and then I click on the IE button, it takes
forever to open up, is there something I can do to quicken the process. I
have 448mb of ram.

That should be enough memory. When you reboot, the icons appear on the
screen well before the computer finishes booting. Anything you try to
do during that period does take a lot of time. If you wait five
minutes after booting, is it still that slow?
 
Do you run spy sweeper? And did you just update Java? If so they seem to be
creating a problem together. If you have spy sweeper, turn off the active x
protection in spy sweeper and your problmes should go away.

If you don't have either - please just disregard this message.

When I updated Java to 6.0 I had the same problem. It put a BHO in IE.
Go to tools, Manage addons, and see if there is something like ssvt or
similar. I deleted it and that sped things back up, BUT, I then
couldn't access some java sites. So I googled for the old version 5 of
Java, installed it, and all is fine once again.
