Yoli,
The first step to resolve your problem:
Control Panel | Internet Options | Advanced [tab]
Uncheck: "Enable third-party browser extensions (requires restart)"
Click Apply\Ok and restart.

If this allows IE to start, see:

Don't forget to re-enable the "3rd browser extensions" option (if used)
Many legit applications use that option.
