It sounds like something went awry with your install. do you have the version which checks if you've a legitimate copy of Windows, or the newer released version which doesn't check?

I'd consider removing the installation through the Add and Remove Programs applet in Control Panel and then reinstalling with the latest version. While you can choose a bit how you want the tabs to behave, by default they appear, so you should be seeing them.

When you do get it sorted, rememgber to make an image of your complete installation. That way if anzthing comes up in the future, it will be easy to return to a known good point.

how did you go about installing ie7? if you extracted the download, then ran setup, than you won't get tabs. you'll have to run xmllite.exe.
