HELP NEEDED - Vista Explorer Problems


Hello everyone,

I was attempting to have Internet Explorer 7 run alongside my Internet
Explorer 8 (as I code webpages and need to see how layouts look in
both). I came across this IE7 Standalone installer and gave it a try.

'Internet Explorer 7 running side by side with IE6. (standalone) |
TredoSoft' (http://tredosoft.com/IE7_standalone?page=1)

Well, it didn't work, and it made IE8 not work either, so I uninstalled
it. IE8 still didn't work.

Plus, in explorer (such as My Computer) whenever I click a folder, it
brings up a new explorer window. It doesn't matter what folder options
I select, it still does this.

Also, I can no longer view the Control Panel, but I can view the
Control Panel Classic View, just not the Vista "Control Panel Home."

I realize it was foolish of me to install this IE7 Standalone, but I
thought it would only install in it's own folder and not adjust any
system files. Eeek, I wish I could go back in time...

I didn't have System Restore on, so that's not an option. I know, I'm
an idiot...

I also don't have a Vista Boot disk, as this computer came with Vista
installed on it to begin with.

Does anyone have any ideas of ways I can possibly repair explorer or IE
files? Any tips, ideas, or any advice at all is greatly, greatly
appreciated.


Thank you so very much,
Brad
