Couple of things

first check the event viewer for possible clues.

go to start run eventvwr

check under the system and application tabs for things and see what they say
with XP sp2 many times it gives you error messages as well as possible
solutions

If there is nothing there a reinstall of IE may fix the problem

make sure you type the commands as written

if you feel comfortable you can create a text file using copy and paste

for the last line type in the word pause

 rename file to fix.bat then save to desktop and click on it
