Internet explorer help needed!?

Ok, so I am having a problem with my IE. I have the icon on my desktop. If I click it IE will open but not all the way to where I can use it for anything. Then I can't close it. I have to hit ALT CTRL Delete and close it in Task Manager. If I click start on the menu and click IE there it will open and work. If I click the icon on the desktop like I said it will open partially. If I minimize the window and try to open it again in another window the 2nd time around it will open up 100% and work fine. Anybody have a suggestion on what the problem might be or how to fix it? I already uninstalled IE and installed the new IE. I also changed the proxy settings too like someone else had mentioned. I unchecked the box for automatic settings detection. No viruses detected as well. I have an excellent virus protection on my pc. Please help. It's driving me nuts. Thanks!Internet explorer help needed!?Here's your problem.....you're not using Firefox.Internet explorer help needed!?Wow, that sounds terrible. First off why are you using IE. I would highly consider switching to firefox. Its a much better platform then IE, and causes a lot less head ache.Internet explorer help needed!?IE sucks thats why. Try switching to Mozilla Firefox or Google chrome and you will see those problems disappear. The same thing happens to me, on mulitple computers, I hate IE because it is slow.Internet explorer help needed!?If you want to use IE instead of firefox, then try un-installing it and then installing it again from the IE websiteInternet explorer help needed!?maybe a bad file in your shortcut icon. have you tried making another short-cut?Internet explorer help needed!?use firefox http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/perInternet explorer help needed!?http://www.google.com/chrome
