internt explorer wont work

Hi: Something strange happened earlier and here it is. Note that it fixed
itself I guess. Dont know. Please read
I have Internet explorer 8 sp2 windows XP home edition. All of a sudden my
teen told me the Laptop screen got
black while using it and would not even turn off. I took out battery and
hooked up the LT to the power source only, turned it on and I got a black
screen with white letters and just clicked enter and then windows started up
good.....except for one important thing.... I couldn't log into the Internet
using
IE8...

I was NOT even able to send this post in outlook express, only my yahoo
messenger was working. but
anything that has to do with using the browser, no luck.
I dont have firefox so I couldn't use that browser.
Something else that may or may not pertain to this. When I clicked on
'start'
then 'programs, I see most of my programs highlighted in peach. the rest are
white like they always were. I did not even know that they could be
highlighted in peach. And it did say that a new program was installed; last
thing on the program list was "windows live ". Even now that my prob got
fixed, the list remains partially highlighted I peach color.
What happened? thanks
PS: Things I did were ccrap cleaner and ad-aware cleaning. Nothing major was
found and even after I did those things it did not work.

NOTE: this morning, all normal..even the programs list in the 'start' menu,
is all white again with nothing higlighted in peach.
Like i said it fixed itself somehow. But if someone has time to answer why i
could not get on IE, please let me know.
thanks
