IE has got corrupted somewhere along the lines. The trouble is, because it is built in, you can't re-install it or install a copy over the top (except going up to version 7 beta, which would be a last resort)

I'd try:

1. Removing all IE toolbars, addons, even if they worked before, so IE becomes a bare shell again.

2. If that doesn't work, do a System Restore, on the last date that he knows IE worked.

3. Puting the XP disk in and do a repair.

4. If he has access to a computer with the exact same version of IE on, you could try swapping the iexplore.exe file and the .dll files from the working copy to the non-working copy, see if you can replace the dodgy file.

5. Installing IE 7 over the top, but as a beta, it could be even mroe unstable than the one than the version he has now.
