1. Does the behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode? To start
IE7 in No Add-ons mode:
• Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without
Add-ons; or
• Start > (All) Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet
Explorer (No add-ons).

2. Does the behavior persist if you Reset IE7 Settings (RIES)?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 <= Read before using!
3. If you uninstall (a) IE7 *exactly* per the link below (which
automatically returns you to IE6), and (b) uninstall any/all toolbars and
(c) uninstall any third-party Windows Theme (including Window Blinds) and
(d) you do NOT reinstall IE7, does this behavior persist?
NB: If it does, STOP HERE! Do NOT reinstall IE7, just reply to this post.
Uninstalling IE7
http://www.ie-vista.com/kbase2.html
[Only use the Command %windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst.exe if you cannot
uninstall via Add/Remove Programs! It's safe to ignore any "such and such
may not work" warnings. Ignore any references to Vista on the webpage.]

4. Assuming everything's OK in IE6, reinstall IE7 exactly per...
Sandi's Installation Tips <= Steps #1-8, #10 & #11; take note of #12, then
STOP
http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install [Again, ignore any
references to Vista]
I strongly recommend using
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx as the
installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update.
Or use this Download link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9ae91ebe-3385-447c-8a30-081805b2f90b
(Tip: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it.)
5. Make *certain* that you check in at Windows Update immediately after
reinstalling IE7 to install any critical updates offered. If Optional
Software Updates category offers Root Certificates update, opt to install it
to take full advantage of IE7's additional security.
NB: Do NOT install IE8!
