IE7 tab problems on XP

I'm running IE7 on XP home. I cannot get the thing to open hyperlinks in a new tab, I cannot get a new tab to open with the home page. I've been through the tabbed browsing settings a few times, nothing ever changes.

OK, I followed the advice regarding pop ups, that is working fine now.. but I selected open new tabs with the home page and it opens them blank...

I restarted IE7. If I hit ctrl +T for new tab it comes up with "about:tabs" in the url window even though "open home page for new tabs" is checked off in the options.

this was a really stupid question on my part. All I had to do was carefully read the selections in the options section and check them properly. 33 years with computers and what did I learn? Slow way down when you need to speed up, no way around it...
