I WANT TO UPGRADE TO THE NEW VERSION OF EXPLORER 7 HOWEVER I HAVE THE WINDOWS
XP MEDIA (SERVICE PACK 3) AND IT IS NOT LISTED AS AN OPTION.  WHAT SHOULD I
DO?

First, please fix your stuck CapsLock key.  (Posting in all caps is
considered SHOUTING!)

Required reading IMHO before installing IE7:

Sandi's Installation Tips <= Steps #1-8, #10 & #11; take note of #12, then
STOP!
http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install
(ignore any references to Vista)

And I strongly recommend using
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx as the
installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update.

Alternately, use this Direct Download link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9ae91ebe-3385-447c-8a30
-081805b2f90b


Tip: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it.

Make *certain* that you check in at Windows Update immediately after
installing IE7 and install any critical updates offered.  If Optional
Updates category offers Root Certificates update, I recommend installing it
to take full advantage of IE7's additional security.
