problems with IE 8 in xp

I did a bone head move recently.  Users computer had an error everytime she tried to use IE8.  I tried to diagnose the problem and didn't get anywhere.  So in a crunch I decided to try to uninstall IE and then reinstall it.  That didn't work out too well.  Now the internet options icon no longer works.... I am missing the menu bar across the top of IE and it crashes if I try to navigate within the browser.  So my alternative solution to get her back up and running was to install firefox. 

Here's what I have done to try to fix the IE problem.... I tried all of the microsoft fixes in the kbb pages.  I tried to re associate the registry entries.  Short of reinstalling the OS, I think I have covered all bases.... Anyone out their have any clues?  I have no installation disk, but a recovery partition on the hd.  I would attempt to repair the OS with an xp disk but it is a prebuilt ACER powerfh series desktop.  I want to avoid a clean install if possible.  

Can I take an OEM OS disk and use it to repair the system? Or am I stuck using the recovery partition only to fix this problem?

Your thoughts.....
