QTP 8.2 on Windows XP Home with SP2

I installed QTP 8.2 on a Windows XP Home desktop with SP2. After installation, when I start QTP, it first asks for the addins to be selected. After clicking OK, the splash screen of QTP appears for a second and then disappears. The system has sufficient memory and free disk space as per the requirements.
In the task manager I observed that the QTPro.exe process is getting killed after the splash screen comes and disappears. Any help would really be appreciated.

Check the IE Version. If it IE6.0 ..it will work...
