Internet Explorer won't open?

My internet was acting all screwy. I did a system restore and when it was finished I couldn't get Internet Explorer to open. I click the icon, and there's a flash, like it's going to open, but then it goes away. Is there anyway to fix this?

    Try to reset Internet Explorer to its default settings. After all, the problem you are having might be caused by an add-on that causes IE to crash or something. In order to proceed, either click the above link to download a tool that will clean up your IE settinsg, OR run the tool from your machine (yeah, the tool should already be installed on your machine):

    1) Open the Internet Options applet from the control panel

    2) Go to the Advanced tab

    3) Click the "Reset Settings" button

    4) Make sure the "Delete personal settings" box is ticked and press OK.

    5) Try running IE again and see if that fixed it.

    If that doesn't work try uninstall and reinstall Internet Explorer. The process is simple and there is actually no installer to run.

    Uninstalling: Open the Programs and Features applet from the control panel (Add/Remove programs] Click the "Turn Windows Features on or off" link on the left

    Untick Internet Explorer in the list of programs that shows up

    Reboot your computer

    Reinstalling IE Go back and do the exact same, except this time you tick the box. And Reboot again.
