IE 7 can handle PNG with Alpha transparency, it is IE 6 and under that
cannot.

Some of IE6's deficiencies can be addressed with MS proprietary filter
for IE.

It is not clear whether the OP was referring to alpha transparency, so
to clarify this: IE 4.01 and up have no problem with single-colour
transparency; the IE 4-6 problems are with Alpha transparency.

I was making that assumption. We folks voice trouble with PNGs and IE it
is the Alpha transparency that is the problem, else they could easily
substitute with GIF
