    alright so i havent used IE for a while but i opened up IE 7 and it said in the corner, Protected Mode OFF, yet when i go to settings it says that im on the security level that has it enabled, is this just a GUI bug, or is protected mode actually off? anyone experienced this before? o_O

    If it says it's off believe it. Protected mode requires that UAC be enabled. By chance did you disable UAC?
