Then you may have a horked (dirty; bad; flawed) install of IE7. I suggest
that you...
1. Uninstall IE7 (which automatically returns you to IE6) per
http://www.ie-vista.com/kbase2.html
2a. Uninstall all toolbars and third-party Windows Themes (including Window
Blinds).
2b. Disable all Norton Add-ons, if applicable.
3. Reinstall IE7 exactly per
http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install, and using
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/default.mspx as the installation
source, not Automatic/Windows Update.
4. IMMEDIATELY go to
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and install any
critical updates offered. If a "Root Certificates" update is listed in the
Optional category, you might install it, too, to take full advantage of
IE7's additional security.
