Menu hover problem with IE 7

My nav menu works 100% in IE8, FF, Opera and Chrome... but it's doing something weird in IE7 that can kindof affect it's functionality but I have no idea really where to look for the problem.

It's most easily seen on two pages. The front page, here:
http://www.skullcrow.com

...and on the product pages here:
http://www.skullcrow.com/proddisp.php?id=skull01

On the main page when you hover over the menu and get the drop downs, if you move your cursor so you're also over the text div in the background, the menu goes away. You can tell easiest when viewing the "Community" and "Help" lists. On the product display page is the same thing over a larger area. Anytime you move the cursor to a part of the menu that's covering the text or (only some of?) the background div, it disappears. The menu is obviously on top, and this problem does not occur in basically any other browser.

The main reason I need to fix this is that these menus will probably only get bigger and the navbar will become barely unusable in IE7 after a while.

I don't exactly what code I would need to post for this, I was just hoping for some general information that could point me in the right direction.

Thanks for any help.

I honestly don't see your problem. Everything looks fine in IE7. But I can tell when you have a problem like that, you will need to create a special CSS for IE7. I normally do that in order to attack all the web design problems for those bad browsers.

IE7 has the same problem.
