Larry,
To test with: First, disable the tool bands and Browser Helper Objects features:
1. Close all instances of Internet Explorer
2. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
3. Double-click Internet Options.
4. Click the Advanced tab.
5. Under Browsing, click to clear the Enable third-party browser extensions (requires restart) check box.
6. Restart Internet Explorer.
If this solves the problem, the problem is with a malware Browser Helper Object [BHO]. Use BHODemon and spot the malware BHO causing the problem. Get BHODaemon - disable unwanted browser helper plugins:

When starting up Mircosoft internet explorer window does
not complely open up. I check task manager and see that
there are two iexplorer tasks running. I kill the oldest
task then it opens the new window. I need to do this
every time after I showdown IE before opening a new IE.
