Windows 7 / ( Internet Exporer ) supports dial up but with my service provider there is a ( fast-dial-up) available. This is not supported by Windows 7 and Internet Exporer. That is why I need Firefox. I go to www.mozilla.com , then click the 3.6 firefox download, then click another download until a popup happens which asks to run or save the file and I click Run as per the instructions. I have had 3 different exe. files which seem to manage the download but so far every one has been determined to be corrupt by my computer and the extraction has failed. Can someone give me a exe. file from which I can download which is not corrupt.?? Also any suggestions on how to get fast dial-up with Windows 7 with Internet Explorer would be very appreciated.

1. "Fast dialup" (usually called a "Web Accelerator") is a feature normally provided by your ISP. They need to make it compatible with Windows7, not the other way around. That "fast dialup" also may need to be compatible with specific browsers via a plugin or extension for the browser.

2. As far as a corrupt Firefox installer .exe, try disabling your anti-virus application for only as long as it takes to download Firefox.

I seriously doubt that Firefox on Windows7 is going to work with that "fast dialup" if your ISP doesn't support Windows7 to begin with.
