Tabbed browsing not working ml 06-13-2005

There seems to be an issue with the tabbed browsing functionality in the
latest MSN Search Toolbar. I have read previous posts where the solution
suggested was to ensure Enable third-party plugins was enabled in
Tools->Options. I have done this and still no tabs. I have seen other people
encounter the same issue.

Does anyone have any more information about this? Any suggestions to get
tabs to work? Is there anything any of us experiencing these issues can do to
help MSN track down the root cause?

Yes. The MSN Search Toolbar displays correctly but nothing appears under it
(where the tabs are supposed to be).

I have gotten this working on another computer without an issue. The only
difference is that on the computer where the tabs do not display, I had an
older version of the MSN Search Toolbar installed. I did, however, remove
that and restarted the computer before installing the MSN Search Toolbar with
tabs.

Another thing that may be of interest is that I do not see the "Manage
Add-ons..." menu in the Tools menu on the computer where the tabs are not
displaying.

Can you compare the following registry keys on two two machines:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSN Apps\Tabs

Also, is the install Dir pointing to the correct location of msntab.dll?
Do you see a 'Tabbed Browsing' entry in the MSN Search Toolbar options
application?

After some more investigation, there is a case where MSN Search Toolbar will
show, but the tabbed browsing bar will not.

Go into IE's Options->Manage Add-ons dialog.

Make sure that 'MSN Search Toolbar' and 'MSN Search Toolbar Helper' are both
enabled.
