Chuck,
The first step to resolve your problem:

If this allows IE to start, see:

Don't forget to re-enable the BHO option (if used)

What the heck is going on here? Ever since I dl'd the most recent version
my system is COMPLETELY unreliable. Constant crashing, and even system
reboots at times. I repeat... everything was fine until 6. This is
sickening. Today my IE folder tells me that the folder is corrupt and I
can't even attempt to reinstall it beacuse the process says ther is problem
and it could not complete the installation. Having to use Netscape at this
point...
