repairing IE in windows XP

[Linda]

Internet Explorer closes for no apparent reason. It
doesn't matter if you are browsing the web, playing games
or reading email it will just 'be gone'. I tried to
reinstall IE, message that a newer version is already
installed and can't continue. Ran the windows update, have
all the patches and service packs.Used the add/remove
windows components but that only removed the icon from the
desktop. I have netscape and have been using that but I
would like to repair IE so that it is also available. Any
suggestions on how to do this??
Thanks....
