IE stalls for 60+ seconds

[Noozer]

I'm having a problem with Internet Explorer stalling once the page loads.
I'll type an address in the Address bar, or click a link, the progress bar
at the bottom fills in and, sometimes, the page displays. At this point I
cannot click on anything in the browser window, or any of the IE buttons.

I've cleared my cache, cookies and history. Cleared my passwords and forms
entries. Ran WindowsUpdate. Ran AdAware. I have an up to date AV scanner
installed. I'm behind a hardware firewall. I've disabled all "add-ons" from
the Programs tab in Internet Options. I've checked the registry for any odd
entries under "Run" for Current User and Local Machine. No 'odd' services
are running...

....How do I figure out what is causing this and how do I repair it?

Help?!?!?

I should note that I'm running XP Pro with SP2.
