Problem with IE7 & Techrepublic

Since allowing Internet Explorer 7 onto my PC, which I quite like, I have had the following problem with access to Techrepublic content.
By allowing com.com in Tools/InternetOptions/Privacy, I can log in and view content on Techrepublic. However, when the article needs to be downloaded, it does not work! I just get a list of related articles and nothing downloads – and no gold bar at the top of the screen to be clicked.
Can anyone assist?
