I'm using Windows XP Pro and I'm the administrator and only members of my
immediate family have access to this (home) computer. There are 4 of us.

I, am administrator on this machine but I am not able to run "Internet
Explorer 6.0" and surf the web from my account ( this is the most active
account on the machine). After logging in using my id When I try to run "IE"
(double click the "IE" icon), hour glass for 3 secs and may be tries to start
IE but nothing happens and "IE" cannot be accessed (doesn't load) ... .

However when I use another user ID with limited or Administrator
priviledges, I am able to use IE without any problems.

 I've run, "ad-aware" and "Norton Anti-virus".

I didnt have any problem with IE till about 2 weeks back when this started
happening.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks
