sRGB color space not looking the same in SmugMug

Picture hopefully sums it up.
THe shot on the right is the Smugmug shot.
The shot on the left is the Lightroom screen grab after I have edited it to taste. (I have reviewed the exported lightrrom file through three different viewers and they all look very close to identical. The only one that doesn't look the same is the image loaded through SM)
Specs:
running Vista w/ IE 7.0.6 (I don't want to install FF on this machine for various reasons)
Using Lightrom to process image
Export w/ a sRGB color profile
Preview of image (through three viewers and LR) and what shows on SmugMug site are two completely different things.
What gives?
I've gone through the SM wiki KB, followed the processes to a tee and everything says my images should be turning out spot on.
Any and all help is appreciated.
P.S. I was having issues w/ color management on another thread. Since then I have re-installed all my editing software and have a happy color management system using ALL sRGB (except for Lightroom which I can't change the working color space from ProPhoto).
So please don't think it's something involving that.

LR's working color space is in fact Pro Photo - but when you export it, it's in sRGB.

If that is the case. Is there anything I can do to change the settings on IE7 so it does a better job showing the true color? I know this is way out of your area, but any knowledge would be appreciated.
BTW my monitor is color calibrated.

I opened up the image locally through IE7. It looked like crap.
While this is good that I'm not doing something wrong. This is a concern for the few ppl that will be soon transitioning over to IE7.
I understand that SM can't do anything about how IE interperets color. Is there anything I can do to tell viewers to help this problem?
Thanks again Andy,
