Strange IE6 issues in win2k

I've been running win2k for a couple years on this install and this PC with no issues
whatsoever until recently... whenever I open IE6 now, the browser window pops up
but the contents of the window remain blank, the page load progress bar at the bottom
freezes after just a split second, and so does the animated windows logo at the top
right... it does nothing further until I right-click on the bottom tab for the browser
window in the taskbar... as soon as I right-click the tab in the taskbar for it,
then the animated icon starts moving again and the page will continue to load, allthough
rather slowly... and after its fully loaded then I can surf within that one window
normally, but it loads everything MUCH slower than it used to.. I'm on verizon high-speed
DSL and its loading like I'm on dialup whereas it used to be very fast. The machine
is a pentium 4 2.66GHz running on an ECS MB with 1GB RAM and an 80GB Seagate Barracuda
HD which I built myself and like I said have had ZERO problems with for a couple
years now... until just recently. I also noticed that no matter what application
I use now, if it requires an internet connection then it acts like the connection
is very slow... I've had updated virus protection the entire time I've used my comp,
and I run routine spyware/adware scans. I've also tried norton windoctor and eusing
registry checker/repair utilities to no success.. I'm getting to the point where
I'm tempted to just wipe the whole disk and reformat/reload... but I REALLY don't
want to if I can at all have a hope of repairing things first.. Please please please
someone out there help me! Thank you in advance!
