IE6 Doesn't Launch - Help

[smh]

I am running Win 2kPro with sp4 on p4 1.5 ghz machine.
I have run Adaware 6.0 numerous times, Spybot Search and Destroy numerous
times, tried uninstalling IE6 and rolling back to previous versions, but I
still can't get IE6 to launch.

When I double click icon it changes to hourglass for just a second then
nothing.
I also can not get Outlook Express 6 to launch, when I double click icon the
splash screen shows up then nothing further.

I am getting real frustrated, and need some advice on how to fix this
problem, I really do not want to reformat and start all over but my temper
is getting short.

Any help appreciated.

Check if a program running in the background is interfering with Internet
Explorer. Temporarily disable all Norton programs, including anti-virus, win
doctor, recycle bin protect, and clean sweep. Disable any firewall or
ad-blocker.

When you click the Internet Explorer icon, window may flash a second and quits. Or, it may show an Error-Reporting dialog. This may be due to a malware Browser Helper Object which causes Internet Explorer process to terminate. If you see the Error-Reporting dialog, click "to see what data this report contains" and identify the Module Name causing this error. In most cases, it may be the spyware DLL. Therefore, reinstalling Internet Explorer [in case of a spyware DLL] may not help.

To test with: Disable third-party browser extensions in Internet
Explorer
1. Click Start, Run, and type inetcpl.cpl. [or control inetcpl.cpl]
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Under Browsing, clear the Enable third-party browser extensions
(requires restart) check box.
4. Restart Internet Explorer.
