IE7 won't start

[alice]

I just installed IE7 on one of my PCs, and it worked for a while, then
one day, when you try to open it, something flashes on the screen very
quickly and vanishes, and that's it. I've scanned for spyware and
viruses with several different programs and found nothing. The PC works
fine otherwise. I tried it in safe mode as well and got the same
problem.
I could try to reinstall it, but I'll have to download the install file
on another machine and load across the network or something, since I
don't think there is any way to install it without some version of it
already installed. Is there something else I can do to get it to work,
something else to look for? I've checked the event logs and saw nothing
unusual.
