Internet Explorer will not open even though computer shows network is active and connected.

Internet Explorer will not open even though computer shows network is active and connected.  The computer my son has is a Dimension 3100/E310, so I realize it is older.  We have tried to do a system restore, cleaning the files, just about everything you can think of.  But when he double clicks on IE to actually "surf the net" nothing happens.  Outlook will open but not IE.  Does anyone here have a clue what might be wrong and how we can fix it?  Thanks.

The most common cause of problems with Internet Explorer is spyware/malware downloaded by the user.  Have you checked the system with at least two antispyware programs and removed all possible spyware/malware?
