    You need to provide more information. What are you doing, how are you doing it, and what happens?

      You can uninstall IE 8 from control panel-> add/remove programs
      and install IE 7 after removing IE 8.

      reply if its works.

      To uninstall Internet Explorer 8, follow these steps:

          Carefully select and then copy the following command:
          %windir%\ie8\spuninst\spuninst.exe
          Click Start, and then click Run.
          In the Open box, type Cmd.exe, and then press ENTER.
          Right-click inside the Cmd.exe window, and then click Paste to paste the command that you copied in step 1.
          Press ENTER to uninstall Internet Explorer 8.
          When the uninstall program is finished, restart your computer.

      After a reboot, download and install IE7 from the MS website. (Uninstalling IE8 will leave you with IE6 initially)

      If he had IE7 before installing IE8, uninstalling IE8 will take him back to IE7.
