Reinstall Internet Explorer 7 In Vista

If you don't like IE8, you can always reinstall IE7


Internet Explorer 7 is a popular browser that many people prefer over newer versions. Because Vista shares some system components with Internet Explorer 7, IE7 is not as easy to reinstall as other browsers. Microsoft does not provide a Vista download for IE7, but you can still reinstall it by removing IE8. Once you remove Internet Explorer 8, Vista will automatically restore a copy of Internet Explorer 7. You can use this method to switch between different versions of Internet Explorer without experiencing any adverse effects.
