Perhaps you've been bitten by the following bug, which is caused by an
IE7 update that breaks .NET Interop:

I experienced this when an employee of mime thought it would be smart to
add some .NET code to a legacy classic asp application. Although I
warned him about adding .NET to the application's list of dependencies,
some people just have to learn the hard way. His application is now
dependent on .NET and all the upgrade issues that go with it. Not a
smart move, if you ask me. New is not always better, especially when it
comes from MS.
