odd IE problem

I installed some programs lately and then uninstalled them. Now everytime i start IE, the process starts then it takes about 30-40 seconds for the window to come up. Anyone else experienced this or know how to fix this?? I had it happen before and had to reformat.

What programs did you install/uninstall? Have you tried re/installing a newer version of IE?

X-Setup has an option to "Clean Up Code Page References"... I bet that will fix it for you. (It's under Internet -> Internet Explorer -> System)

OP
i dont know how but for some reason the problem fixed itself. I was in the process of moving files to format and then i opened up IE and it was fine. Anyway im happy i don't have to format.
