Why is my Internet Explorer not working the way it used to properly?

I am having problems with my Internet Explorer. Every time I click the icon to pull it up the window comes up, and the icon on the bottom is a blurry Internet Explorer icon (which will sometimes eventually become clear again), and the window will say "(Not Responding) and after a few seconds will close down. The Internet Explorer will ever so often come up, but it does not occur often. I will restart, refresh, conduct multiple scans, pull up the Task Manager (which will sometimes unblurr the Internet Explorer icon) and etc. but it will rarely do much. I have Google Chrome, and that will still work, but I do not like using Google Chrome, and am happy just using the original Internet Explorer. The computer is a Windows 7, and I do NOT want to get something newer. Any ideas with this?

    Use Firefox or Google Chrome, or Safari or basically anything NOT from Microsoft.
