I responded via email, but here's the answer again, with some additions:
You aren't really running IE. You're running AOL browser. Unless someone here is
familiar with AOL browser, you're going to have to go to AOL for your answers.
Either that or uninstall AOL and pray that you get a real IE back in one piece.
You can help those prayers by reinstalling IE 6 SP1 from here:

(if that link doesn't work, use this one:

Install IE 6 *AFTER* uninstalling AOL. You might even want to find out what
assistance AOL support might provide for making sure your uninstall is complete.
