Spartan198,

check that for me:

When you click to open the browser, hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to bring up Task Manager. Check to see if IEMonitor.exe is spending an abnormal amount of CPU usage. If it is, select it and click End Process button (or whatever it is in your Windows version).

I'm having similar issues and as soon as I kill IEMonitor.exe from Task Manager, the computer is saved.
