Hello,

Try doing a System Restore to the point where the problem did not occur.

after updating internet explorer to IE7 and receiving a failed to
install message, my Internet Explorer is now GONE COMPLETELY....
the only inernet access I am able to use on that computer is E-mail.
How do I get my Internet browser back?

See if you can uninstall IE7:
"How to uninstall Internet Explorer 7"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927177

In this case, IE6 should show up when done.
Otherwise, repost (via Newsreader) to this group:

Try going to C:\Windows\ie6 folder. Open the folder and find
iexplorer.exe Icon. Double click on it and if iexplorer comes up Ok then rt
click on it and select Send to
Desktop as shortcut.

Using the System Restore tool in order to uninstall IE7 is not recommended.
Follow the steps as described in KB927177. Before doing so, check if IE
is really completely gone rather than its desktop icon only.
Start > Run: IEXPLORE.EXE

Hi,
Run Disk Clean up and then open a run command and type in:
sfc /scannow click [OK] and let it run, it will take a while and may be ask
you for the XP CD so get it handy.

Click Start >> Control panel >> Add/Remove Programs and see if there is any
IE7 app there and uninstall it then click on Set Programs Access and Default
and click Custom make sure the IE6 set as your default browser.

Click Start >> Control Panel >> Double click Network and Internet
Connections >> Double click Internet Options.
On the IE properties windows you will see these Taps:
General | Security | Privacy | Content | Connections | Programs |
Advanced.
Click on Programs Tab and check the check box for Internet Explorer should
check if it the default browser.
HTH.

Why should *I* do that. Note that I'm *not* the OP! If you have something
to say, reply to the OP directly. Thanks.

Required reading IMHO before installing IE7:

Sandi's Installation Tips <= FOLLOW THESE TIPS TO THE LETTER!
http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install

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

For gawds sake keep IE6 and forget IE7 for ever and ever, amen.
Wait for IE8. Maybe it won't be the disaster that IE7 is and
continues to be.

A contrary opinion here. IE7 works just fine on all my machines.
Because of its significant security improvements, I recommend that
everyone use it in preference to IE6.
