screw ie7 beta, had to reinstall xp after installing both the beta version and the one provided on the dvd.

and yes, not legit xp.

 

[prasad_den]

Vimal and s18000rpm: You are right.. I don't have the tabs option at all..

This is how it appears..

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Why dont you reinstall it then- *www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx

 

[prasad_den]

^^ Is that the only option..?? And should I uninstall the existing IE in any way..?

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

dunno,some people have some tabs missing in internet optionsso they reinstall
it.
I dont think IE can be uninstalled

 

[s18000rpm]

dude are you sure its IE7 ???
i doubt its IE7.

coz the icons in that "Internet Optoions" window look like from IE6's

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Yeah its IE6

Ya... Guess I'll have to do it..!! I just want this so my dad can use IE with tabs in the guest account.. OTherwise, I don't really care..!

 

[s18000rpm]

maybe it needs some "Registry hack" to enable it again.

& make sure your PC is free from virus/spy-wares...

 

[prasad_den]

^^^ PC free from viruses and other ad/mal/spy wares.. Anyway, D/L going on now.. finished the validation..

Ok.. D/L over.. Will let you know in a while..!!

Ok guys... Its solved.. Reinstall did it..!!
I think I now realise what the problem was.. During install, IE asks whether I want to download recent updates for IE and Malicious softweare removal tool. Previously I remember disabling the option. This time I allowed it to connect to the net, and I get no problems..!!

Does that mean the actual .exe file that MS provides does not have a tab enabled version..??

 

[s18000rpm]

nope, it must have been some corruption of file or someone messed with the Registry.

i too installed IE7 2 days back & unchecked those things during installation, & no problems faced coz of that

 

[prasad_den]

^^^ Weird..!! Coz I installed IE7 right after a fresh format and reinstall of XP with SP2.. So little chance of a corrupted registry being a cause..
