IE7 Tabs are gone

[verstellung77]

Tabs were working fine for months then all of the sudden they are gone.

Tab Browsing is Enabled in Internet Options but there is no tab button/bar.

Using Windows XP-Pro

Any ideas?

I followed the directions for 'Reset'


Still no Tabs.

[Go The Power]

Try unticking the tab options. click apply, ok. close ie then open it back p and tick the option

[verstellung77]

Sorry...I failed to thank you for helping me out.

I disabled Tabs..exited IE7. Opened IE7..enabled Tabs....Still nothing.

OT: I've noticed that under Screen Properties, there is no longer a "tab" for changing the Desktop. I doubt there is a connection...but thought you should know.

[ditch4]

try this go to tools in IE click on internet options, under general you should see the tabs menu, click on settings, put checks on enable tab browsing, check-warn me when closing multiple tabs, check-enable quick tabs, check-open new tabs next to current tabs,down from ther open popups in new window and add current window.then click ok. hope this helps

[verstellung77]

Nope...still nothing.

I've tried about every combination there is for those checks. Even the 'Reset to Default'.

• Please insert the Windows XP CD into your CD/DVD drive.
• Click Start, then Run
• Copy and paste the command below into the text box (with out the quotation marks)
  " sfc /scannow "
• Click Ok
  
• During the scan you may be asked to Insert the A Windows XP CD, if this happens just click retry and let it do its thing.

Please post back with the results.

I recently baught this computer from Dell (referbished) in September.

I don't recall receiving a system restore CD. I have a CD for XP Pro from my last computer. Will that suffice with this new system of XP Home ?

[Go The Power]

It has to be a XP home disc. Do you know someone you can borrow one from?

[verstellung77]

I believe my mother does. I'll check.
It'll be a few days before I could get it, so hang-on and thanks again.

I may have just overlooked the restore CD for my CPU...will re-search.

[Go The Power]

Ok. I will wait for your reply :)

[cwany]

well the, thread is old, but here is my 2 cents

I have just had this problem. It turned out to be cause by changing screen property settings. I've been changing themes (not sure how it's called in english version) to "classic" and "xp". I mean i was selecting it from the drop-down liste, but not accepting. Still it has removed tabs. So after trying different things I went to properties again and selected "my current theme", accepted it and everything was back.

I think you could try also try to roll-back changes by (again, don't know how's called in english version) reversal point? (you run windows, hit F8 at the beginning, go into special mode, and pick date when you want your system to be rolled back).

There might be some issue with the , settings of the internet explore.
so to resolve this issue try to reset the internet explorer .
open the internet explorer , go to the Tools > internet options > Advance > click on the reset .
this will reset the settings , of the internet explorer .
