How do I Install Internet Explorer 7 After an XP Repair?

Internet Explorer is Microsoft Windows' official web browser. Windows XP bundles Internet Explorer 6 by default, although you may later upgrade to version 7. If your Web browser reverts to its default version due to a repair (system restore or system installation) you may reinstall Internet Explorer 7 conveniently from its official Web source.

Instructions

1. Launch your default Web browser and obtain Internet Explorer 7 from Microsoft's website (see "Resources"). Save the installation file to your computer.

2. Close all programs before proceeding with the installation. Launch the downloaded installation file and allow the system to extract all necessary contents.

3. Click "Next" to initialize the browser installation. Read the program's license terms and click "I Accept" to continue.

4. Select whether to install the latest updates for Internet Explorer 7 and the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool. Such updates help keep Internet Explorer 7 more secure; the Malicious Software Removal Tool runs during installation to detect and eradicate any existing threats that might harm the browser.

5. Click "Next" to proceed with the Internet Explorer browser installation. Allow a few minutes for the installation to complete.

6. Click "Restart Now" to complete the browser installation. After your system restarts, Internet Explorer 7 will be ready to use.
