hi! i have recently downloaded ie7 beta 3 and found that its tab feature is disabled. i cannot open any new tabs using ctrl+t and when i open the file menu, the new tab option is disabled. i checked with the settings and there is no problem there. it is enabled in the settings. searched the net and found only one person with similar problem. although it didnt exactly say how to solve it. help!

Try to reinstall IE7, I would try that for a start..

you have to install the smllite.exe setup which is in the extracted ie7 installer in the update folder
