"MY IE WILL NOT OPEN"

[BEANZ]

I RECENTLY (ABOUT 1 MONTH AND A HALF)WIPED MY LAPTOP
CLEAN AND RE-INSTALLED WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL.
EVERYTHING WAS FINE WHEN I FIRST INSTALLED BUT SOMEWHERE
ALONG THE WAY, IE STOPPED OPENING. I DON'T RECEIVE ANY
ERROR MESSAGES, IT JUST DOESN'T OPEN. WHEN I CLICK THE
ICON, I SEE THE HARD DRIVE LIGHT WORKING AS IF IT'S GOING
TO OPEN BUT IT DOESN'T. SOMEONE TOLD ME TO LOOK IN TASK
MANAGER TO SEE IF IT IS RUNNING, AND IT ISN'T. I DON'T
KNOW IF IT IS ANOTHER PROGRAM PREVENTING IT FROM OPENING
BUT IT WON'T OPEN. I HAVE UN-INSTALLED IT AND RE-
INSTALLED IT WITH WINDOWS DISK AND STILL NO GO. ANY HELP
WILL BE TRULY APPRECIATED. AND NOT HAVING IE WORKING IS
OF COURSE AFFECTING MY ONLINE EXPERIENCE AS WELL AS SOME
OF MY PROGGY'S NOT ACTING RIGHT. THANX A WHOLE LOT!!!
