Errr....why can't you download a new version? Can you download updates? Without the ability to contact the Microsoft website and get updates, keeping the applications patched is tough.
Its hard to say why this is happening. You may have a piece of spyware that is causing IE to fail. It could also be something more ominous like a memory issue (I doubt it).
You could download updates to a different computer, then transfer them to you your computer, but its a pain in the ass. You could also order a service pack CD from Microsoft. I think they run like $10.
If you are not the technical sort, it may be worth taking it into the geeks at Best Buy and having them service pack it and clean up. Just back up all your data before you take it in.
