What article are you referring to, Don?

Do you see the same behavior after resetting IE7

The articles I am reffering to are from "How to troubleshoot Internet
Explorer 7 issues in Windows Vista" web page on Microsoft support site. I
followed each link from there trying to trouble shoot this problem. Yes, I
tried resetting IE7, I tried setting up a new user account and starting the
computer using the clean boot method. In all cases it the problem still
occured until I turned off "Enable Protection Mode"
