My Sis was having problems with her computer with windows 7 on a projectnoah site she likes. We spent a long time trying to "fix" and nothing was working. I realized she was on IE8 so we updated it to IE9 and she has had no problem uploading her pics or getting in & out. I realize it's a totally different site but maybe if you just updated to the IE9 it would be the fix for you too.
