After numerous frustrating lock-ups with IE8 I decided to uninstall it and use Firefox. Lately I've wanted to use IE8 for various purposes but cannot find a download for Windows 7. Any help?

Considering IE8 comes as part of Windows 7, it's most interesting that you somehow managed to remove it and still have a functioning system. It's also why you don't see a download for Windows 7 on Microsoft's website.
How did you do that?
If you mean you went to add/remove and turned off the feature then go back and turn the feature on.
I tried the add/remove but it's not there. Went into program files and found a couple things there but clicking on any of them gives me nothing. Can't find the executable file anywhere. Very frustrating.
When you were in add/remove did you click on 'Turn windows features on or off' ?
