You may have a horked install of IE7. I suggest reading the following
link...

http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install

...and then uninstalling and reinstalling IE7 per Sandi's tips, and using
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx as the installation source,
not Automatic/Windows Update.

The response was very helpful. I have now installed IE 7. The most useful
tip was to uninstall ZoneAlarm and then try the install. That worked and is a
useful point to remeber for everyone using ZoneAlarm. Thanks again for your
help.
