Here's a few things to try or consider..
Goto start, settings control panel (or start>control panel for WinXP).
Goto add/remove programs.
Double click Microshit Internut Exploder
Chose repair, click ok. Click YES/OK to the popup thing. Reboot and try again.
If it still fails.
Try and find a copy of the file IE6SETUP.EXE. Many ISP's (like SBC DSL) have this file on their disc. Try reinstalling it.
If it still fails.
Run sfc (system file checker). In win2k/winXP you have to run it from the dos prompt and will need the cd you installed from.
There is another command to check your dll files but I forget what it is.
Goto http://www.technet.com, it's microsofts knowledge base.
About Opera, let's not even pretend that it compares. I've flip flopped back and forth between both for *many* years now and let me say a few things with certainty.
1) MS IE is the most popular browser, therefor most webpages are designed for optimal compatibility for it. If you don't believe me download netscape, opera and IE then browse about 15 different sites and tell me which browser looks better.
2) MS IE is MUCH easier to install / setup than opera.
Is MS IE the BEST browser in all catagories? No.
Is MS IE the BEST browser in MOST catagories? Yes.
Surely you've seen web site stat pages showing what the most popular browser used by their clients.
