Thanks for the suggestions. By disabling 3rd-party browser help
objects, it goes back to normal. It is also OK if I just leave 1 or 2
addons but still freezes if I had some more. Most addons worked OK
until I manually removed one suspecious addon (spyware that kept
popping up new windows). I had it set as disabled but hate to see it
listed there. I booted to another system and deleted it from system32
folder. Maybe IE is still looking for it whenever it's launched
because it's still listed as disabled addons.
So how can I permanently delete the problem addon from the list?
Delete is gray at Manage Add-ons. I've tried ToolbarCop but the addon
still shows up at Tools > Manage add-ons.

Thanks,

.
