When did it start happening? Becuase a System Restore might do the job

If your hard drive has been screwed up by magnetic forces then it would be a lot more than IE not working...

Probably some corrupted file somewhere, try reinstalling IE.

get mozilla firefox, it rocks. ie is full of crap, just uninstall it completely. (add or remove windows components)

Here are links to download both of the browsers:

Mozilla Firefox (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/)
Internet Explorer (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1e1550cb-5e5d-48f5-b02b-20b602228de6&displaylang=en)


Do yourself a favor and get Firefox, it's a much better browser then IE.
