How can get Internet Explorer on my computer again?

Some how, I think my sister deleted my IE on my laptop. I can't get IE 8 to re-install because it says I have a newer version running on my computer. But my computer says I don't have IE even ON my computer now. I have been all over the internet to solve this problem and even called my ISP and they said I would need to get an IE Installer from like Best Buy or somewhere. ?? What the heck, I installed it through AT&T in the first place and now they say they can't install it?? HELP!!

Update:

Thanks for all your help everyone! I found out yesterday that my computer doesn't have IE on it anymore, plus don't have the installer either! So I guess until I buy them I won't be able to use IE on my computer. (going with Firefox )

    Go to Start->Run and type "iexplore" with no quotes. Is it still there? If so create a new shortcut on the desktop to iexplore.

    If that doesn't work save the shortcut from another computer on a thumb drive and copy and past it to your computer.

    Download Firefox as it is much better. It spell checks everything for me and the tool bar is awesome.
