I'm going to have to ask for a test page. One of the base tests for IE7.js is 
input:hover. This test passes on my IE5.5 installation as does input:focus.

I'll mark this bug as invalid until a test page is submitted (sorry).

BTW, thanks for your recent helpful comments in this forum.

ok iv found the culprit
there are 2 bugs

#1 the id bug
a)
add this in your css
#test input:focus {background: red}
#test input:hover {background: red}
it's not working
b)
use this instead
input:focus {background: red}
input:hover {background: red}
now it's working

#2 the background lock bug

if you have this css
#test input {background: green}
input:focus {background: red}
input:hover {background: red}
the focus and hover won't work

to fix it you have 2 choices
a) remove the id
input {background: green}
b) remove the background color
#test input {}

you can test it - it's reproducible
reopen please

This was quite a serious regression that only affected MSIE5.5. It is now fixed 
in 
version 2.1 beta 2.
