Install a Script Debugger then. Alternatively you might want to try IE8b1. ; )

Another thing you can do is open the TIF viewer (Alt-T,O,Alt-S,V)
Sort by Last Accessed and drag any likely looking script files to
an open Notepad window. Make sure you turn off Word Wrap
and turn on the Status bar to see line numbers there.

Instead of re-registering modules or boot time repair procedures
IE7 users now have RIES. Registration has been removed from mshtml.dll
and registering shdocvw.dll is known to cause an incompatibility.
However, uninstalling and reinstalling it should have the same effect as re-registering
modules and be less disruptive as far as customization goes.

Well perhaps there is some other third-party program you have
installed which is interfering? E.g. some toolbars can't be disabled;
to test if they are causing your symptom you would have to uninstall them.


Good luck
