Have to agree with all but the first poster (nothing new there!) - you really do not want to go back to IE6. Why? Internet Explorer is very much integrated into the Windows architecture - which means all the bugs inherent to IE6 are also carried forth into your OS. Think of IE7 as a system-wide security upgrade - even if you never it.
Now first off, did you install IE7 from Microsoft or the Yahoo version that I keep hearing about - if it is the latter, get rid of it and install the original from the MS website. You'll also need to reinstall your messengers - this will restore their connections to Internet Explorer.
As well as this, you may want to check your Java and Flash Player plugins are both up to date, as earlier versions of these can also cause problems.
Hopefully this gets you back on track. Personally I am a Firefox user myself, but I still made sure I updated to IE7 on XP even during the beta stage (Vista already has it so no need to update there).

I was the same way, but ultimately decided to upgrade to IE7 for some of the new features, including the tabbed interface. I got used to it after a while. Another option is to keep IE6 and install Firefox for the tabbed interface and some of it's other useful features just so you have an alternate browser to IE. At some point you will probably be forced by MS to upgrade but no reason to surrender pre-maturely if you don't want to. ;-) p.s. I know there are skins for Firefox, I'm not sure about IE7. Sounds like you would be ok with upgrading to IE7 if you could retain the simpler / cleaner look of IE6.

The Windows Explorer 7 has higher security features, it might be your security settings are two high, an another option is a possible conflict with Firewall or Antivirus

Yeah, same for me. The sign-in page of Yahoo never opens in my IE7.0. I use Firefox anyway and thats pretty much better than IE. You can get it from http://www.mozilla.com/ . But don't make it as your default browser; keep IE as your default browser and use Firefox for browsing.
