I uninstalled Explorer 8 using the "Add or Remove Programs" option that you can find in "Control Panel". When you remove IE8 it will reinstall IE7 automatically. Good Luck

Didnt work for me... I also tried MS alternative solution which is pasting FORFILES /P %WINDIR%\servicing\Packages /M Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-8*.mum /c "cmd /c echo Uninstalling package @fname && start /w pkgmgr /up:@fname /norestart" into the command prompt... got the blue screen after that one... still looking for another answer.

The problem is that you have already deleted some files causing an "incomplete" removal of I.E.8.0 I to have downgraded because I have thousands of dollars worth of recording programs that are incompatable with I.E. 8.0. I did what the others had mentioned and it worked just fine. I recommend getting on I.E. webpage and re-downloading I.E. 8.0 so that way all the files are there then follow the process that was mentioned earlier. Odds are you accidently deleted a file that is neccissary for both I.E. 7 and 8.0. I am close to positive that doing this will fix your problem. Let me know how it goes, good luck!
