Internet explorer cpu goes to 100%

Question

I have an inspiron 600m, 512 memory, using XP service pack 2. Recently with 1 web site everytime I go to it the CPU goes to 100% and nothing else can be done until I close IE. I have been on the web doing all the things recommended, i.e. checking for spyware, virus's, trying to reinstall IE (it won't let me with SP2 installed. All my other sites work without problem, and on other computers this web site works fine. Any idea's on what else to make this happen. I've also deleted all my temporaty files, cleaned and defragged the HD, done the things that microsoft and dell have suggested for this problem and nothing is working. Thanks
