IE 5.5 freezes on startup, then recovers.

This problem occurs on a new Dell Precision running W2k. When started the IE window comes up, but is unresponsive and the video does not refresh. Task manager indicates the program is not responding, but it will recover and operate normally after 1 1/2 - 2 min. This happens whether the selected default page is a blank or a web page.

I have tried the repair function with no luck, and also cleared the caches and cookies. Netscape is installed on this machine and works perfectly.

Any suggestions to eliminate this lock-up would be appreciated.

 
I had similar problems when I had a virus scanner...
