Frustrating CSS Issues with IE7

A recent client has come back to me as some of his customers cannot view his site properly when using IE7.

Basically, there are some div elements within the header which are fine in all modern browsers, but IE7 hides some of them.

In order to attempt a quick fix, I thought the best thing to do was position the elements absolutely.
This at least makes the elements visible, but when they are viewed in IE7 their position is different than FF/Chrome etc.

Debugging is a pain as I need to use a virtual PC to see the results.

Grateful for any tips/advice

screenshot attached, with section of css below...

#intl-flags {
width: 400px;
z-index: 2000;
margin: 0 0 0 300px;
position:absolute;
}
#search {
height: 50px;
width: 300px;
z-index: 2000;
margin: 40px 0 0 300px;
position:absolute;

}
#viewcart {
height: 50px;
width: 225px;
z-index: 2000;
margin: 40px 0 0 500px;
position:absolute;
}
