Remember, IE 7 is still in beta stage. You should use the latest
version of IE 6 if you want one that is current. Personally, I prefer
Mozilla Firefox because there are less vulnerabilities and you don't
have to deal with ActiveX.

I had the same issue, problem was with the dcom settings in my case.

I performed the steps shown in the link, but when I go to the default
properties tab, DCOM is not selected. When I select it, there are no options
listed for the Default Authentication level box, nor in the Default
Impersonation level box. I can't type anything and the drop-downs are empty.
DCOM Process Launcher is set to Auto and is running. Any ideas...
Regards
