I had to take off IE 6 due to the fact that it was
causing errors.

I went to the Control Panel, Add Remove Windows
Components and unchecked the IE box.

Now when I try to reload the program, after downloading
it from the MS site, I get an error message that tells me
that there is a newer version on my computer so the
install stops.

How can I get IE back on my computer?
 
Unchecking IE in the add/remove components in XP does not uninstall IE, it
only deletes the IE icons. You cannot delete, remove, or uninstall IE.

You can reinstall IE using the following command line in the run dialog:

rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132
%windir%\Inf\ie.inf



The XP cd may be needed for a re-install of IE.



( watch the word wrap, there is a space between 132 and % )
