Out of curiosity, was it a "real" IE7 install or was it a standalone version or something? I’ve always had issues with the standalone types of test setups, so I’m still running one VM per IE version I need to test in. Kind of stupid, but at least we have virtualization now.
It was a stand alone version, as i need i 7 and 6 installed side by side.
I work on a mac and although i have a test PC its not really up to it.

My experience with these is that they often report themselves to the server incorrectly. That is, you’ll be running IE6 and it will look like IE6 but it’s telling the remote server that it’s IE7 so IE conditional comments will deliver the wrong CSS.

Try writing a snippet with just this code to report the browser and make sure they’re identifying themselves correctly:
return '<br />Browser: ' .$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
