figured it out
i was using views to generate themes for a block and the css call in the views tpl file was causing ie to crash for some reason

I have the same problem with the "advanced forum" module in IE 7. Once I turn it off the css file come back!

Using background images that are not in the same location as the css file will also make IE crash

I have just the same problem, but it's spreading and now no theme css is loading (even Garland) in ie 6, 7 or 8... Chrome, Firefox and Opera are working perfect... Any clues?

Turns out MSIE7 doesn't like when there are too many CSS files. Turn on CSS caching, that will fix the problem.

it seems to be something to do with calling other css files. I have the same problem. I removed Advanced Forum and CSS came back except liquid width rather than fixed width.

I kind of want to keep advanced forum on and have fixed width so it's not quite got there.

anyone solve this issue? I'm using a modified zen_classic in IE7 and IE6

mike, I'm so happy to hear there's a cure...but how do I turn on css caching or compression as they describe it over at that link

You can turn CSS cacheing on at /admin/settings/performance

I was just coming back to jot down how I'd done it and you beat me to it. A huge relief, thanks mate.
