Joe,

You might do an MSDN search on how to force a full IE install over the top of the current version. You might get some better help from one of the IE newsgroups too.

If you can tell me how to completely nuke IE (which I assume is impossible considering Microsoft's idea of "innovation"), I could try a re-install. But I have no idea how to do that, and at this point it might even break more stuff.
