Tabs disappeared from IE7

by yannis Dec 2, 2006 4:16AM PST

Now, that is a problem I never heard of! After a crash of Internet explorer 7, there are no more tabs, whatever I do. I uninstalled and re-installed IE, I disabled and re-enabled tabbed browsing from Internet options, but with no result. I am stunned. Any ideas? Thank you.

Problem solved. It had to do with the change of the windows visual style!

Could you give some more details?

Just in case another member stumbles upon the same problem.

In a XP SP2 machine, I loaded one of the visual styles that "tranform" XP to the Aero style of Windows vista. It is not the first time that I apply a different from the default theme or style, but this is the first time that I encounter such a serious problem with IE7. The tabs were not showing at all. When I reverted to the classic XP theme, the problem was solved.
