I had the same problem when I had 98SE. It was broken shortcut to OE. I went into search, created another shortcut for the desktop and it worked. I hope your problem is this easy to solve..good luck! You could also run your Registry Cleaner program...like Windows Registry Pro, or something similiar. Maybe this would help.
