I don't have IE7 (or any other modern version of IE), but I do have IE6 on an old Windows box, normally used just for my old A3 scanner, so I fired that up, and it works OK with that.
Could it be a screen resolution problem? I bought a "new" (£40 in the local secondhand computer shop) bigger monitor a few months ago, so I hadn't noticed this, but I do recall that in the old forum there was a way of selecting a different display style for old displays using 800x600, which I used to use - maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see that now.
