Recap: These issues are only encountered in one particular User Profile.
The issues do not occur in IE6 after IE7 is uninstalled.
What anti-virus or "internet security" suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications? Were all components of these applications
disabled before uninstalling IE7 and reinstalling it?
Have you tested starting IE7 in No Add-ons mode since this most recent
install?
Have you tried RIES again (
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737)?
Does this behavior persist in a newly created User Profile?
