Clean reinstall of IE

I have been running into several problems while using IE and I think they 
have to do with corrupt files in the installation.
I have tried to reinstall but I always end up with the same version and the 
same problems.
Have tried solutions suggested on Microsoft site and other forums, but none 
seem to help.
My comp is running on Win 2K SP4. DO NOT want to heve to reinstall Windows.
Please help me out here.

What problems?

To uninstall/reinstall IE6 in Win2K, you must (1) uninstall any Service 
Packs that were installed after you installed IE6, (2) uninstall IE6 via 
Add/Remove Programs, (3) reinstall IE6, and finally (4) reinstall any 
Service Packs.  (I doubt doing so will help your problems, especially is 
they persist after uninstalling IE6.)

Hi Rob & PA bear,
Thnx 4 ur replies.
Obviously removing the program the conventional was (via addqremove 
programs) was one of the first things I tried. The problem is that IE DOES 
NOT appear in my remove program list.

Here is a list of some of them:
1. After opening several windows of IE, when I close one of them the rest 
get "stuck".
2. Many pages open with the warning symbol on the bottem left of the IE 
window, and sometimes they even get "stuck" during their upload.
3. Cannot install MS Update (not sure if this is an IE problem but until I 
solve the above problems I can't rule this option out).

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing programs like Messenger Plus, 
whose ads for malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince 
you that you owe it to the author.  See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything.  Always choose Custom
and see 
what else is being carried along.  Don't install any extras you're not sure 
of.
