Problems with Tabbed browsing as well.

[=?Utf-8?B?Um9ib2NvcA==?=]

I am having problems with the tabbed browsing as well. I went into Internet
options>General and clicked settings under tabs>and clicked open home page
in new tab, instead of blank page. But, it still will not open my home page
in the new tab! It's just a blank page. Any suggestions? I am running Windows
XP Home Ed. with S.P. 3, and IE7.
