I've tried to download and install ie7 on a friends pc, but it looks wrong -
the toolbars are wrong, and I cant open tabbed browsing - you know - the
liitle right arrow at the right of 1 of my favourite sites

does anybody know what I've done wrong- - any ideas would be greatly
appreciated.
thanks
allan

Please try the IE7 group.
Tell them where you downloaded IE7 from.

The recommended newsgroup is microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

In a proper newsreader:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...plorer.general

If you must use a web interface:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...plorer.general

Alan's reply notwithstanding...

Required reading IMHO before installing IE7:

Sandi's Installation Tips <= FOLLOW THESE TIPS TO THE LETTER!
http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install

[And I strongly recommend using
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/dow.../getitnow.mspx as the
installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update. Make *certain* that you
check in at Windows Update immediately after installing IE7 and install any
critical updates offered. If Optional Updates category offers Root
Certificates update, I recommend installing it to take full advantage of
IE7's additional security.]

Perhaps you could ask in a group with IE7 in the title?

Aks elsewhere

paulmaudib - you're absolutely correct - I apologise - I' m relatively new
to the microsoft forums, and there's a lot of them - and they're not easy to
navigate - sorry, an dthanks
