Best thing to do here is to try to repair internet explorer, by going into Start>Settings>Control Panel>Add/Remove programs>Microsoft Internet Explorer and there will be an option to repair it

Have you tried deleting the index.dat file.

Edit:

\Documents and Settings\<Username>\Cookies\index.dat

\Documents and Settings\<Username>\Local Settings\History\History.IEx\index.dat

\Documents and Settings\<Username>\Local Settings\History\History.IEx\MSHist012001123120020 101\index.dat
