Try downloading and installing the standalone version of Internet Explorer 9,

I recommend installing the standalone version of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (bottom two files x86 = 32 bit, x64 = 64 bit) before installing IE9.

.

I am installing the x86=32 bit Windows 7 Service Pack 1 now which is going to take a while from what I see, it must be one big download.  Once that is finished then I will try to install the standalone version of IE9 and see if it goes through.  I will let you know what happens.

For IE9 you need SP-2.

I've not had any issues with installing IE9 as part of a Microsoft update on an Inspiron 530 MT desktop, running 32-bit Window 7 SP2

You only need to download the 32-bit service pack version.

Maybe THIS article can help.

Okay I waited over an hour for that download to finish for the Windows 7 SP 1 file x86=32 bit and when it got to almost the very end it ask me if I'm sure I want to run this and I said yes and then a box comes up saying no data found.  Now what do I do?  I waited over an hour for this and it does this at the very end.  Now I'm back to square one again.  Was I suppose to download both the 32 bit and 64 bit or just the 32 bit like I have.  Also there are 3 other downloads under those 2 you said.  Now what do I do?

If you have 32 bit Windows 7 the file windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe (537 MB) should suffice.

Its strange why its not installing.

Can you press [Windows] and [Pause|Break].

Does it say Service Pack 1 or not? If it does then proceed with the standalone version of IE9.

If not check that the file you have downloaded (right click and click properties) is 537 MB and it has not incorrectly downloaded.

Next I would download and install ccleaner and defraggler. Once installed run both the cleaner in ccleaner and also the registry cleaner. Subsequently run defraggler. This may fix some junk files/registry settings preventing windows from updating properly.

As muto mentioned earlier a small malware check might be of use. What security is it you are using anyway? Malwarebytes' Antimalware is a good program. The free version runs/updates on demand only so it is worth having around for a periodic second checker. The pro version gives realtime protection.

In the Recommended (mainly free) software wiki that I wrote I tried to give a brief explanation of these programs and others.

ccleaner, defraggler, Malwarebytes' Antimalware are all small programs (it won't take anywhere near as long to download them as the service pack).

SHESAGORDIE there is no Service Pack 2 for Windows 7. Vista is at SP2 however.

I did that and there is no listing for any Service Pack at all so now what?  It is a 32 bit though.
