IE 6.0 w/SP1 won't boot on WinXP
IE was working fine, then one day it wouldn't boot. When you left-click on the icon for IE, the hourglass pops-up for a couple of seconds then dies. No link inside of an e-mail will take me the Internet either.

What I have done so far:
- My computer can contact WindowsXP Update from within the HELP portion of XP.
- I can ping my DNS Server, and MSN IM works along with a weather programs that gets information through the Internet.
- Reinstall of WindowsXP and IE 6 w/ SP1 no effect.
- Other computers on my home network can access IE except mine.
- I can connect to other computers on the network at home.
My Config:
Windows XP no Service Pack
IE 6 /w SP1
Cable Modem

I found out that IE works in Safe Mode with Networking. So I stopped all my programs other than essentials using Task Manager and it worked in regular mode instead of Safe.
I think all I have to do is find out what is causing the conflict.
Does that sound right? I never had another program prevent IE from starting, weird.
