Browser will not open at all

[Tracy]

All of a sudden my IE browser will not open at all
The hourglass will show up for about 3-4 seconds, then
nothing...any explanation or way to fix this?
Obviously I can't download a new version, because I can't
get to any internet sites on my home computer. HELP?!
