Well, usually when you first use a tab in IE7, the new tab opens with a
built in page that explains tab browsing with an option to take you to your
home page and never show that introduction page again [or something like
that]. I thought if you had turned off scripting or somesuch that might have
frigged a bit.

Anyway, have you tried the "Restore defaults" button? Then go from there?
