Have you attempted to upgrade to IE 7 and if so are you having the same problem?

Are you running Spybot 1.5 with the SDHelper BHO enabled and also have a Goolgle toolbar installed? If so there appears to be a conflict between Spybot's latest SDHelper Browser Helper Object (BHO) and Google's toolbar particularly running Internet Explorer 6 (for example see this thread) that prevents Internet Explorer from launching properly.

There also may be conflicts between Spybot's latest SDHelper Browser Helper Object (BHO) and other toolbars or browser add-ons (see this thread) that prevent Internet Explorer from launching properly.

1. If you are using a Google toolbar there are two options overcome the problem (and possibly a third):
   
   
   
   1. Uninstall the Google toolbar as Spogg did:
      
      • Internet Explorer often fails to open

      --- or ---
      
      
   2. Disable Spybot's Resident "SDHelper" as follows:
      
      • Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident.
      • Uncheck the following:
        
        • Resident "SDHelper" (Internet Explorer bad download blocker) active.
      
      
      --- and possibly ---
      
      
   3. The third option that seems to resolve the incompatibility, at lease some cases, is to upgrade from IE6 to IE7 which is a possibility for you since you indicated you are running Windows XP Pro SP2.
