Looks like your Caps Lock key is stuck too.

Anyway, try going into Add/Remove programs, uninstalling IE completely, and then run Windows Update, and it will automatically download the latest version of IE for you.

Or if you want to avoid going through Windows Update you could download it directly from microsoft's website.

Microsoft does NOT give you the ability to download the entire IE6 SP1 from their website. Instead they give you a 500KB exe file that you download and then run from your machine.

You can download IE to your computer and install it at anytime you want. Put it on a USB drive or CD. Always one of the things in my Tech Toolkit.
