How to Reinstall or Repair IE6 and IE7
Internet Explorer can and does break. It is usually the result of some addon or Spyware that has been removed and has broken a key element of the popular browser. By now, most people should have already upgraded to IE7--especially if Automatic Updates are turned on. In fact, IE8 will soon be rolling out, and the versions since IE6 are more secure and easier to repair than the old, abandoned version 6. No matter which version you're using you should always have the capability of repairing or reinstalling the browser.
In the case of IE6, you might need your Windows CD.

You may be asked to insert your Windows CD at this time.
