Help! Upgrading to IE 7 casued big problems.?

I upgraded to IE 7 in order to get the enhanced security benefits. When I installed the new version, IE opens but then is unresponsive. I have to close out of it and use Mozilla to get on the net. Same thing happens when I open Windows Media Player--just stays unresponsive. When I uninstall IE7 and go back to the old version, everything works fine. I have installed/unistalled 5 times with restarts; no change. Can anyone help?

I'm not an expert but the author if this website is. She specifically mentions a couple of things that can affect a successful install. Like having to reboot twice after installing.

And Microsoft has some words of wisdom as well:

When I first installed IE7 I had a boatload of problems starting with the actual installation. Instead of uninstalling and then reinstalling, I tried a repair install. (Similar to what I've done with XP.) Instead of removing the existing copy I just downloaded another copy on top of the first. And that solved my install problems. Then I found this article which basically says the same thing in the very last paragraph.

Some people swear by IE7 as being the greatest thing since sliced bread. I kept swearing AT it and eventually went back to IE6 because of all the other problems I was having. I wish you good luck.
