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
2. Uninstall all toolbars and third-party Windows Themes (including Window
Blinds).
3. Reinstall IE7 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.
