Cant install IE9, "newer version already exists...HELP!

I kept getting lots of pop ups from IE7 and deleted it as it was annoying me, I even got pop ups when IE7 was not even open!! I could not find the program from the install / delete programs from control panel so I went in and deleted the IE folder. I must have done something wrong here as now I cant install any version of IE, tried 7 and 8 and even 9. When it tries to install i get the message "set up cannot continue as a more recent version of internet explorer is installed on your computer".

I have been through so many forums and cannot find an answer, I even downloaded Mats_Run from microsoft and it says it did not fix the internet explorer add on. I dont want to reformat my computer as yet so hence the reason for this post and if anyone can help me.

Cheers

Steve

Hopefully a System Restore will work. If not and you have a VIsta disk, do an overwrite. Don't use the OE on the partition or you'll be starting from scratch. We have other methods available. One more thing. Check the Recycle Bin.
