if that don't work try going to actual microsoft site and checking for updates. or uninstall IE7 and redownload IE6 and get all updates for it.

i don't think we can uninstall IE7 on Vista...
and IE6 cannot be installed on Vista...so i think that post was just to increase the number of posts..!!!Liggy don't spam...

If it crashed in Safe mode (no add-on) as well, then I would count out IE as the culprit. Try disabling all non-microsoft services and applications and then try downloading ....
[Msconfig-> Services-> Hide all microosft services-> disabled all-> Startup -> Disable all -> Restart ]
And as usual do scan your computer for possible Virus and malware infections.

if u havent tried it then try this..
start ie7 in safe mode by going to run and keying in

iexplore -extoff

(even the space after "e" in iexplore is needed)
then try to download a file , if it works then i think there is some problem with your addons..go to tools>>Manage addons>>Enable or diable addons>> and disable the addons one after the other and test in normal mode after disabling each addon...this should give u the culprit addon...just remove it and everything should be fine
