IE6, My Computer & Control panel cannot start

[Ong HK]

Hi, for no apparent reason, when I try to run IE6, the
hour-glass mouse cursor appears for a few seconds and
then nothing happens. When I run "My Computer"
and "Control Panel", the desktop icons and taskbar
disappears for a few seconds, (leaving only the
wallpaper), and "My Computer" & "Control Panel" do not
start. WHY???
Please help!!! THANKS!!!

Scan with current (post-2002 version using updated definitions)
antivirus. Remove spyware with Spybot Search & Destroy from
www.security.kolla.de and Ad-aware from www.lavasoftusa.com. Be sure to
update these programs before running them. It is best to run antivirus
and spyware removal tools in Safe Mode.
