You could try the System Restore which takes you back to a time when your computer was working good. Go To:
start
programs
accessories
systems tools
system restore
This process is completely reversable. And does not remove your personal files. Just go back one checkpoint at a time until your puter is working good again.
You may need to reinstall any recent software programs, but it is a quick fix when you dont know what else to do.

IE7 apparently is quite the bomb to install, and this is further evidence supporting the fact. Restoring your computer to an earlier time might help, if you have that feature turned on. I would try to install the thing over and over again before using restoration.

of all the ways, easiest is to do a system restore.windows usually make a restore point before a major installation restore to that point or, restore to the date just before the installation, . Windows will take care of the rest itself
For system restore
Start>All programs or programs>accessories>system tools>system restore.
