can you possibly put a little more detail???
you say, "when you downloaded it", so obviously it was validated 1st, (as they usually do).
you may have another problem, "if it is a legal copy of windows".

If you have a legit copy of WinXp then you need to validate it at the microsoft website. If it is a copied version don't bother as it is not legit nor will you be able to receive downloads from microsoft.

I Downloaded it just fine. I have windows XP. Is that what you have. I have to be honest though....I regret doing it. I miss the old internet soooo bad. If there was a way to go back that would not take alllll day, I would do it. It also slowed my computer net down, instead of speeding it up as it claimed to do. I may be on my own here, but that was my opinion.

You need to validate your copy of windows, if you are not able to valvidate your windows xp, you will not be able to download IE7

So, run http://getfirefox.com
Microsoft has built into their OS and browsers so many BACK DOORs that their "trusted Partners" pay to have access to, that it is a HUGE pile of pop-ups, DRM, privacy invasion, data theft, and other crap!
Microsoft runs all 45,000 computers and servers, Aruba firewall/routers, Microsoft.com, hotmail.com, MSN.com, and Linux Lab 400 systems on Linux. Virus proof.
