    I honestly never have a problem with IE, But I also don't use any add-ons with the exception of Flash Player. If it'll run fine without add-ons, as you mention, then uninstall the add-ons.

    I don't think IE7 has the repair option but it will ask you if you go to remove it on add/remove. If it doesn't have the repair option, you may want to uninstall and reinstall via Windows update

    Maybe you should uninstall ALL the add-ons and even IE7 itself. Then, install everything again one by one until you discover the source of the problem. I know this takes a long time but it will pay off eventually.

    Or maybe you can just get Firefox. :)

    FireFox is a good alternative to IE.

    Anyways disable any add-ons if you have any and disable all media plugins.

    Run Windows Update, make sure you also have enough memory while running IE and that you are not playing a 3D game while using IE.
