when i try and run IE on my Win XP home sp2 machine (1.41 ghz, 256mb ram) the process starts in task manager but no window opens. the process is not in the applications window of task manager, just the processes one. i can't alt+tab and get to a window either. the machine takes forever to boot up, which i assume has a bit to do with the memory, which i plan on at least doubling. when i hit the ie shortcut a second time, a second iexplore.exe process shows up in task manager, but still no window. the cpu is pretty much staying at 99% system idle process and both iexplore.exe instances are staying at 00%.
