    Try putting your a:hover styles after the a:visited styles. The order matters when defining the pseudo-selectors. Always try to have them in the following order in your code:
    a:link { }
    a:visited { }
    a:hover { }
    a:active { }

    I think there is an a:focus too that should go in there somewhere after link and visited, if you need to use it. I don't THINK it works on IE though (just a hunch).

    Best bet for sorting order on link styles: Lord Vader's Former Handle Anakin (:link, :visited, :focus, :hover, :active)
