Hi,

I have a PC which wouldn't show the tabs in IE7. We believe the user had
installed a beta version, so decided to format her machine and start from
scratch (it had various other problems).

Yesterday, I formatted it, reinstalled all Windows Updates including IE7. I
accepted all the defaults for IE7 installation and off it went. Upon
launching IE7, it still showed no tabs!! The box is ticked for tabs to be
enabled...

I uninstalled it, then done a Windows Update, and it detected it needed to
be installed, let it reinstall, but still the same.

We have checked our servers and there are no restrictions in Group Policy...

Anyone any ideas?

xmllite.dll is present on the system...


Kind regards
Colin

You may have a horked (dirty; bad; flawed) install of IE7. I suggest that
you..,

1. Uninstall IE7 (which automatically returns you to IE6) EXACTLY per
http://www.ie-vista.com/kbase2.html

2. Uninstall all toolbars and third-party Windows Themes (including Window
Blinds).

3. Reinstall IE7 EXACTLY per
http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install, and using
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/default.mspx as the installation
source, not Automatic/Windows Update.
