I have a feeling your machine is being bogged down with some sort of spyware. That is why it is extremely slow to open. Check your task manager for weird file names that look obviously spyware-ish.

But, the easiest solution is to dl and use a different browser (Mozilla). My brother's computer is doing the same thing and his IE is slowing down so badly. So, I dled Firefox and that works so much better. He just leaves IE alone because it still isn't working.
