Running IE8 on xp home sp3.
Under internet options I have the tabs set to the default configuration, but
pages will not open in a new tab. If I cliclk with the mid mouse button they
will or if ichoose right click and, 'open in new tab' they will. Reinstalled
IE8, worked ok once, then quit again. Any help much appreciated.

Hi,
Start Internet Explorer without add-ons by right-clicking the IE icon on the
desktop. Choose Start without add-ons.
or
from Start> Programs> Accessories> System tools> Internet Explorer (no
add-ons)
If the problem goes away, a browser add-on is causing it.

Thanks Dan, for the help.
Starting without add-ons did not fix this problem.
Opening links in a new window and/or opening links in a new tab do not work.
All other tab settings appear to work if they are checked/unchecked.
I love tabbed browsing and have always used IE so I really don't want to
switch to a different browser. It would be great to have this issue resolved.
Any other ideas?
Thanks again

I'm not convinced yet that you even have a problem, what is it in the
following
instructions that do not work for you with regard to opening a link in the
Browser in a new tab?

1.CTRL + Left mouse click
2. Rightclick "Open in New Tab
3. mouse wheel click

How do I open a new tab?

Thanks Donald Anadell
Perhaps, you are correct that I do not have a problem. I was under the
impression that if -open links from other programs in a new tab in the
current window was selected,-- a new tab would open automatically with a left
mouse click as long as tabbed browsing was enabled. So, is it not possible to
open new tabs with just a left mouse click?
All of the instructions you listed in your post do work for me.
Thanks again for your patience.

P.S. ( My apologies to Don Varnau for referring to you as 'Dan' in my last
post).
