Since released date IE7 has making lot of bugs.one easiest way to fix the problem is,at the end of every day do IE optimization and remove all add-ons,plug-ins.This will help a lot and sometimes it wont work.so download IE7 and reinstall over the existing one.

Thanks....however I can't even access one file without that message popping up. It's like I'm locked out and my system is "frozen". Should I do something different at startup?

1.Try from a new user account.
2.while your system reboots tap on the key F8 on keyboard and try with Last known good configuration..
3.if u have ever used dial up then disable dial-up from internet options..
