Could I have a look at your custom HFANSWER.INI file?

[johndoe74]

sure. here ya go

I don't see a real problem in there. The only thing is that you need to specify something other than "DRIVERCOMP" in autorun mode, but it doesn't matter in your case since HFSLIP defaults to "A" which is what you want.

I suggest you remove the first two lines in your customized HFANSWER.INI and test again. If that doesn't fix the problem, it's the CAT files.

I don't have much experience with removing CAT files myself. Hopefully someone who's had success with IE7 and without CAT files can jump in to help.
