IE only runs in protected mode in Vista... So that's not your problem.
It has a message on the status bar the says Protected Mode: ON

I have the latest updates for IE7 on XP with SP2 installed. Do you know
if the same issue occurs with that environment? How can I check whether
IE is running in PM?

New to the list..
I'm trying to use comtypes.client.GetActiveObject to get an
instance of internet explorer on XP SP2. This results in 'operation
unavailable' every time, and I can't understand why.
GetActiveObject works for other apps. This is IE7. Is it not
registering itself with the com server? How can I check that? Can
someone please help?
Thanks,
Aaron
