Krissykk,
Click Help > About Internet Explorer
This tells you what version you do have installed

You do need XP with SP2 in order to install IE7. If you meet those
requirements, you can download it by clicking on Get It Now button:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx

Preview these release notes for IE7
Installation Errors

If you receive notification that the installation failed, you should restart
your computer to ensure that any changes made during Setup are undone.

To find information about installation problems, refer to the following log
files:
%windir%\ie7_main.log
%windir%\ie7.log
%windir%\ie7Uninst.log

Note: %windir% is the location of your Windows directory, which can usually
be found at C:\Windows

FYI - In order to reinstall IE7 I had to turn off Norton Antivirus - it
installed without a problem.
Thanks to all for help
