Since you categorized your question under Windows 7, I assume you are using Windows 7.

Based on this link form microsoft.com, you cannot uninstall Internet Explorer 8 because it is integrated with Windows 7.

removing IE8 will leave Windows 7 without any web browser unless you install a 3rd party web browser like Firefox or Opera.

If you still prefer Internet Explorer, your only chance to install IE 7 under Windows 7 is using a standalone version such as this:

If the above doesn't work for you then my other suggestion is to install Virtualbox, setup a virtual machine and install an older version of Windows on it (such as Windows XP).  Windows XP has IE 6 by default but you can upgrade it to IE 7 via Windows Updates.
