  All advice on the interwebs is that this is not possible.
  
  If it was just a question of a web page appearing broken you could have tried ie7 compatibility mode
  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view
  
  Otherwise if you have a program that relies on IE7 and you own Windows 7 Enterprise, Professional or Ultimate you could run IE7 in XP Mode (a virtual machine)
  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/install-and-use-windows-xp-mode-in-windows-7
  
  You would need to disable automatic updates in XP Mode and download and install IE7 on the virtual machine
  http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/internet-explorer-7-details.aspx
  
  then manually use Windows Update repeatedly while deselecting IE8 until no more updates are left except for IE8.

  Hi,

  
  You can use the Compatibility View if you have some compatibility issue. Click Tools - Compatibility View Settings.

  Since you mentioned some programs is not compatible with Windows 7, which version of Windows 7 are you running? If it's Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate, you can download the Windows XP mode to run those programs.

  
  Regards,
