No link visited and unvisitied color in IE

In firefox I have no problem, but in Internet Explorer, the visited and unvisited color of my links don’t work. Its the default blue for unvisited and that ugly purple for visited. The hover works fine which is why i’m confused. Can anyone help? This is the code I use:

a:link {color: grey; text-decoration: none }
a:visited {color: grey; text-decoration: none }
a:hover { color: green; text-decoration: underline; }
a:active {color: green; text-decoration: none }

Like I said it works fine in firefox but not internet explorer. WHY!
