I'm not sure what is wrong with my IE, but I tried to
repair it with the AOL fix, but it still needs repair.
How can I do this myself - thanks!

Try this, as they are simpler instructions to follow. But first, visit
Windows Updates, and make sure you have the "latest and greatest" version of

How do I repair Internet Explorer in Windows® XP?
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_ie_reinstall.htm
The ability to Repair Internet Explorer does not exist in the version that
ships with Windows XP. This feature only becomes available after you
upgrade to a newer version. This is normal and has been this way since
Windows 98 and IE4.
However, you can reinstall IE in Windows XP by clicking Start, Run and
entering the following command:
rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132
%windir%\Inf\ie.inf
**You will need to have your XP CD available**.
Some people have problems with the command line above. A small VB Script
that will execute the command for you can be downloaded here at
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts/xp_run_ie_setup.vbs. Save the file to
your hard drive and double click it to run IE Setup.
===============================
IF that doesn't work, this is another way, but a bit more complex..., but
maybe less complicated (?) than the first method I supplied.
Note: Both of the following methods listed **require that the Microsoft
Windows XP CD-ROM be available**.
Method 1: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x Repair for Windows XP
From the Start menu, select Run.
In the Open field, type sfc /scannow (Note: There is a space between sfc and
/scannow)
Select the OK button.
Follow the prompts throughout the System File Checker process.
Reboot the computer when System File Checker completes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Method 2: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x Repair for Windows XP
From the Start menu, select Search, select All Files and Folders.
Select More Advanced Options and place a checkmark beside Search Hidden
Files and Folders option.
Ensure that Search System Folders and Search Subfolders are also checked.
In the All or Part of the File Name box, type ie.inf
In the Look In drop-down menu, select C: or the letter of the hard drive
that contains the Windows folder.
Click the Search button.
In the search results pane, find the ie.inf file located in Windows\Inf
folder.
Right click the ie.inf file and click Install on the context menu.
Reboot the computer when the file copy process is complete.

And yet another way:
How to Repair Internet Explorer 6 and Outlook Express
Tricking Windows into letting you reinstall IE6
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/index.php?showtutorial=71
Since you already have Internet Explorer 6 installed the operating system
will not allow you to reinstall over the existing installation. Due to this
we are required to trick the operating system into thinking IE 6 is not
installed.
############################################################
### NOTE: in order to use this method you are required to edit the
registry. **Incorrect editing of the registry can cause serious harm to your
operating system** so it is advised you proceed with extreme caution.###
############################################################
Follow these steps for repairing Internet Explorer 6:
Click on the Start button and then click on the Run option.
In the Open field type regedit and press the OK button.
Navigate to the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active
Setup\Installed Components\{89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383}
Under that key you will see a entry named IsInstalled. Right click on that
entry and left click on Modify.
Change the Value from 1 to 0.
Exit regedit.

So, what *is* wrong with your IE, that makes you feel you need to repair it?
