I used to have the same problem as well, someone told me to download fire fox. It's a bit faster and easier to use. It never freezes up either. It's a free download as well.
Hope it helps,

you say you deleted cookies and history, but did you delete your *cache* for internet explorer?
under the "tools" menu (at the top), choose, "internet options", then click "delete files..."
(the cached files are different for each user on xp, maybe that's why the other account aren't having this problem; they don't surf the web as much, so there's not as many files clogging up their cache)
'hope this helps!

are they still logged on when you get on your account? if not log them off, instead of switching users. when you switch users, all the info, what t hey were doing, what programs they were running, everything, gets put into the virtual memory on your hard drive.

you need to compress your old files and to delete your cookies
