Ken,
A few other things you might try.
1. Run repair on IE.
2. Disable, for diagnostic purposes, other programs that are running in the
background. Something like a firewall, ad-blocker, AV, security program,
toolbar, etc may need to be reinstalled- or not reinstalled.
3. Work through the preliminary steps at
The Parasite Fight - Quick Fix Protocol:
http://www.aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm and post a HijackThis log to the forum.
See if there's malware that the programs didn't find.
