Have you attempted at any point to remove Internet Explorer from your computer? It sounds like some components are missing.
The only thing that will fix this is a Repair installation. However, if you do this with the CD you have now, ou may not be able to use your own product key, which is required for a repair installation.

Sorry, I misunderstood, and thought you borrowed the CD. 
In this case a Repair installation will work and I would definitely recommend doing that. See here for more information and steps.

The repair installation done the trick.It has done all of its updates and IE is working fine.I guess I should update to IE 8 as well?

I'm glad to hear that. Please let me know if you have any other problem left.
You can indeed update to IE8, even if you don't use it, its a much faster and better looking browser than IE6.
If you have no other questions/problems, this topic will be closed afterwards.
