The problem that certain web site doesn't seem to function is that Pop-up blocker embedded with IE7. For security reason, your computer will block you out from log into that site without your permission.
This feature come with IE7, the Pop-up Blocker is automatically enabled IE7 so most pop-ups should be blocked out.
To change the settings of the Pop-up Blocker within IE7:
clicking Tools, Pop-Up Blocker, Pop-up Blocker Settings, then configure IE to allow pop-ups from the Web sites then clicking Add.
There's also Notification and Filter Level, you can configure Internet Explorer to play a sound and show the Information bar when a pop-up is blocked. So it will be less confused next time if you felt that IE7 silently shut you off from certain web site.
