Internet Explorer hangs

When I opened IE6 it would hang as soon as I type or clicked anything. So I
tried installing IE7 Beta 3 and that did the same thing. So I removed IE7
Beta 3 and tried reinstalling IE6 from Microsoft's website and it refused to
install IE6 because it said there was a later version on the computer even
though I removed the later version.

I tried deleting the Internet Explorer folder from the computer but it
wouldn't let me do that.

What I need is a working copy of IE6 or higher on the computer. How can I
achieve this?

or

Start – search , and choose files or folders, click the more advanced
