What problems? If they're being caused by hijackware, reinstalling IE won't
help: Hijackware infects Windows, not the browser.

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

already
have a copy on my machine and it won't go any further.
I read where you could change a setting in the Registry to make it think
that it was never installed, so I did that (by setting the Installed
Components Key from 1 to 0). I then tried the install again, but got the
same message.
How can you get the setup file to just go ahead and do the re-install
anyway?
