Uninstall / Reinstall Internet Explorer 6

[bonnie]

How do I uninstall Internet Explorer so I can reinstall
it? I am having a problem. When using Internet
Explorer, I receive the following message:

"An error hasoccurred in Internet Explorer. Internet
Explorer will now close.

If you continue to experience problems, please restart
your computer."

I have restarted the computer many times, and still the
same message. I want to uninstall the program and
reinstall hoping that I clean up whatever problem I
have. But, I find no way to uninstall IE.

I have tried to install IE6 (over the current
installation since I cannot remove it) from the CD I used
to install it originally, but receive the following
message:

"Setup has detected a newer version of Internet Explorer
already installed on this system. Setup cannot
continue." I have done no updates since the original
installation. Don't know how this could be.

I just don't know what to do next. Noted: I have had
serious virus problems that I am working through. But,
so far, IE has worked fine til this afternoon. Also, IE
seems to run fine in 'Safe Mode'.

Have you tried Add/Remove Windows Components? Go to Add/Remove Programs,
on the left sidebar click on Add/Remove Windows Components, uncheck
Internet Explorer.

If you need the complete & full download of IE6, here are the instructions:
