Internet Explorer on Vista just had a major slowdown?

A couple hours ago my internet explorer was working perfectly. I clicked the icon, program popped up immediately, home page loaded in less then a second. A few minutes ago, I clicked the IE icon, program popped up.......waited....waited...waited...14 seconds later the home page suddenly loaded just as quick as always. I rebooted, same 14 seconds delay. I cleared the cache, temp files, history, same 14 second delay.

I hit the Internet Explorer 64 bit version, loads instantly, home page up in less than a second. Problem is, not all pages support 64 bit browsers. Anything with flash, for instance, since flash isn't supported on 64 bit browsers.

The delay is only on the initial load, and the computer doesn't seem to be doing anything during those 14 seconds... Why did it suddenly start doing this? 2 years ago someone asked a similar question, they suggested repairing IE... is it corrupted? How can I repair it on vista?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :-D
