Answer 1

It is a free download from the Microsoft website, providing your software is genuine.

Answer 2

It should be available to you if you go to Microsoft Updates and check for security patches. However, if you have corrupt operating system files, try running SFC first.
=============
System File Checker (SFC).

This can also be run in Safe Mode should you prefer.

To get into Safe Mode, reboot and then either hold down or tap the F8 key repeatedly while the computer is starting up. To run SFC, close all applications such as Office, Messenger, Email, etc, and go to:

- Start
- Run
- Type in sfc /scannow (include the space before the " / ")

What SFC does is that it attempts to fix or replace critical operating system files. Sometimes this can be done without the installation disk, however it may prompt you for the appropriate operating system installation disk. If that is the case, then you know that you definitely have major file corruption or something missing. Insert the disk if prompted. Also you should run SFC using the Administrator account.

If you have the Vista operating system, the steps are a bit different due to the UAC. See the link below.

Don't surf, play games or do anything while SFC runs. After it is completed, reboot your computer.

One of the major culprits in missing or corrupt operating system files is running a registry cleaner or optimizer. They can flag important shared files for deletion or cleanup. Another cause is malware.

NOTE: Before running any registry cleaner or editing the registry, always ensure you back it up first. If the registry cleaner you are using doesn't have that function, you can do it manually. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756

Here, just look down the page until you see the words, Internet Explorer 7 for sp2, click on the link and then the downloads page will appear:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx

Also, once you download and install IE7, go back to that page and read all the information. There are several tabs, each containing valuable information, and others lead to Add-ons you can get for free too.

Good luck and much fun with IE7, I really like it better than any other browser available.

Answer 4

You can get it at the Microsoft's website.They might have to check if you are running a genuine Microsoft OS. But I suggest getting Firefox. It is a lot better, faster, and with lots of cool stuff and extensions. That doesn't mean that you can't have both, you will probably still need IE for msn websites, since Microsoft won't allow access from a diferente browser.

Answer 5

Mozilla Firefox, an almost identical program for free, if you go pirated copy of XP

Answer 6
