    Have you actually uninstalled IE8 first BEFORE trying to reinstall IE7?

    I have Firefox and Opera installed but that's really only addressing the symptom and I'd concentrate first on uninstalling the unstable BETA software causing problems.

  • I'm not going anywhere near IE8 till it's stable, although that's kind of unimportant to me because it's rubbish and I use Firefox instead
    http://www.firefox.com
    Then get some extensions for it from http://addons.mozilla.org/
    I recommend Download Statusbar, All-in-one Sidebar and Adblock Plus
    Kempleton is my current theme, but you can get ones that look like IE if you want.
