Please try this:

Re-install Internet Explorer 7

Please go Here (Click on the Blue link) and download a fresh version of Internet Explore 7.
Uninstall the version of IE you have installed now, to do so follow these steps:

Click Start
Click Control Panel
Double click Add or Remove Programs
Scroll down until you find Internet Explorer
Then click Change/Remove, and follow the prompts.

** Please Note: If you are unable to see IE7 in Add or Remove Programs follow these steps:

Click Run
Type or copy and paste, into the text box:

%windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst.exe

Then Press Enter **

Restart your computer.
Install the fresh version of Internet Explorer.
