I am running out of idea's here (and I don't have any Windows machine). Maybe it is related to how spyder is integrated into PythonXY? Have you tried reporting it somewhere there? Or a more experienced Windows 7 user might be able to help.
If it is the PythonXY installation (which I don't know), you could try installing spyder directly in python (download the source or the windows installer - but chose the spyder version for your installed python). Check the docs for more install tips: http://packages.python.org/spyder/installation.html or some more info on: http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/wiki/NoteForBetaTesters. However, note that you can create a bit of a mess if you install two different spyder versions beside each other. Better remove one version first before installing a new one. Further, I would advice you to open an issue on the spyder bug tracker (that would be best place to report issues like these): http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/issues/list. The discussion can continue there.
