Does anyone know if it is possible to install Internet explorer 7 onto a windows 2000 machine? i know microsoft don't want us to use it, but i was wondering if anyone had found a work around to make it work.

no you would have to use Windows XP or later to use IE7.

You have to have WinXP with SP2 in order to use IE7.

I honestly don't know why the OP wants IE7 at all. I hate it.

QFT. Internet 6 has never been the same on my machine since uninstalling IE 7. For one, it crashes whenever I visit my mail page. I now have to use Firefox for that. IE 7 is a software built around Longhorn/Vista and was basically taken and planted ontop of XP like a bad nosejob. It doesn't belong there and I couldn't agree with you more. I also feel the same about WMP 10 and 11... I'm still happily on 9 over here.

I too have issues with IE6 since unintalling IE7. In my case IE6 seems to lockup for no apparant reason.
I still use WMP 9 when I use it at all.
I didn't think aout IE7 as being the cause of my issues. I am going to seriously consider re-installing XP now.
