in IE 6, the title text of a modal dialog is "Microsoft Internet Explorer" in IE 7.0, the title text is "Windows Internet Explorer" the code in watir\dialog.rb expects the IE 6.0 text. I was able to click on a dialog in IE 7.0 by manually editing dialog.rb and changing "Microsoft" to "Windows" I would think it shouldn't be too hard to accomodate both, presuming there is a way to get the IE version number from OLE. I'd be happy to work on a fix if someone could give me some help with the WIN32OLE end of things.
