IE 6 upgrade slow to open; AOL http no, https yes

I posted this about a week ago in some other NG and tried their
suggestions to no avail. I even sunk so low as to try AOL Live Help -
best they could tell me was reinstall AOL - which I've done twice now.

Sorry for the crossposting but after a week of various uninstalls,
reinstalls, etc. I am stumped. :)
I have a couple of problems that may or may not be interrelated.
Long and short, my registry was corrupted and I reinstalled WIN98SE. I
then had to go and reinstall the majority of my programs to get them to
work right. Everything on my PII 450 worked just fine prior to this
catastrophic failure. :)
All is well and back to how it was now, with the exception of two
things:
1. My AOL browser (7.0) will not allow me to access HTTP sites but
WILL allow me to access HTTPS sites. This is with or without Zonealarm
running. Also, the buddy list does not pop up and AOL hangs about 10
seconds when starting up. Every other feature of AOL works just fine
besides the BL and HTTP access.
2. I had a fully updated version of IE6 on my system prior to my
rebuild and it was fast and fine in every way. Now, when I start a
copy of IE6, it takes 10 to 15 seconds for it to get up and running.
After it is running, however, it's fine. Again, this was reinstalled
at the rebuild, too.
I have reinstalled DNS/RMS, Winsock2, AOL. . . blah, blah, blah. I
can't get anywhere on the AOL HTTP problem BUT if I revert back to IE5
(which came with 98SE) IE opens and runs just fine again.
Any tips? I've googled high and low on this one and can't get it
licked.
TIA! :)
