If you can't reinstall it from WINXP CD, why not just download it from a number of DLL provider sites. O.o... and replace it?

Here's one I found earlier
http://www.zerohack.it/downloads/dll/mshtml.zip

Unzip it, and replace the old mshtml.dll with that one.
Hope it helps?

If your not already running IE6 SP1 you can just update it, and it will reinstall all new files. However, if you are already running the latest version, you will have to change the key in the registry, that the install package looks for to check the version number. If the install package see's you already have the latest version, it won't reinstall anything. There are actually several ways to do this on the page I listed above. Some don't include mucking with the registry, if you don't feel comfortable with changing registry settings.

Found this on MS KB. Document Number 810887

Hope it can help you.

By the way, according to your post, IE closes as soon as you open it, sooo, how are you staying on line long enough to download files? Just curious...


Error Message: Internet Explorer Has Encountered a Problem and Needs to Close (Mshtml.dll)
View products that this article applies to.
SYMPTOMS
When you browse the internet with Internet Explorer, you may receive the following error message:

Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
If the error message still appears and if you want to see the data that the error report contains, click the click here link at the bottom of the message box. You then see error signature information that may be similar to:

AppName AppVer ModName ModVer Offset
iexplore.exe 6.0.2800.1037 mshtml.dll 6.0.2800.1050 001f19c7

CAUSE
This behavior may be caused by an older file from a Beta version of Microsoft Windows XP and the Internet Explorer 6 Public Preview releases. You might experience this symptom if you upgraded from a Beta release of Windows XP or from the Internet Explorer 6 Public Preview, or if you are still running a Windows XP Beta version or Internet Explorer 6 Public Preview release.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods.
Remove Smart Tags Support for Internet Explorer
Close all open Internet Explorer windows.
In Control Panel, start the Add or Remove Programs tool (or the Add/Remove Programs tool).
Click Smart tags support for Microsoft Internet Explorer, and then click Change/Remove (or click Add/Remove).
Disable Smart Tags in Internet Explorer
Start Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
On the Advanced tab, click to clear the Enable smart tags check box.
Click OK, and then restart Internet Explorer.
MORE INFORMATION
Windows XP Beta and the Internet Explorer 6 Public Preview releases are Beta software that was distributed for feedback and testing purposes. Microsoft does not provide technical support for beta products, and recommends that you install them in a test environment, not in a production environment. The second Public Preview release of Internet Explorer 6 (version 6.00.2479.0006) and some Beta releases of Windows XP included Smart tags. Smart tags were removed from the final released versions of Internet Explorer 6 and Windows XP based on customer feedback.
