First you didn't say why you need to reinstall IE7 and second there are two
versions of IE7. The RTM version and the Oct. 2007 version. which one do you
have now?
Download IE7 from www.microsoft.com/ie and save to your HDD, that way you
will have it. The current version on Downloads is
7.0.5730.13
The RTM version was
7.0.5730.11.
