Internet Explorer will not work after Installing XP2

I have Windows XP Home SP1. I went to microsoft update and installed SP2.
When I rebooted, Internet Explorer 6 will not work. I go to Task Manager and
notice that Iexplore.exe is showing so I Ended Process and tried Internet
Explorer (less plug-ins) and it opened but FROZE and stopped responding. I
checked my firewall and it's allowing Internet explorer access.
I then installed IE7 in hopes that would work. Same problem. I had a
backup of my system so restored the backup and went back to SP1. Tried again
the entire process 2 weeks later and still cannot get Internet Explorer to
work at all. I have done this process 3 times and nothing will make Internet
Explorer work. What is the problem?
thank you

You need to prepare your computer before upgrading your operating
system. "Get Your PC Ready for Windows XP SP2" shows you how to do that.

I didn't send you an e-mail.
