TRIED IE 8 BETA NOW IE7 WILL NOT OPEN CORRECTLY

I installed IE 8 Beta over my IE 7 installation. IE8 did not play well with
Mcafee yet. When I installed IE8 which returned me to 7, I found that now
when I open my home page it has no tabs, and I have to click on my home icon
to get it to go to another window which will show a new window with IE and
the original tab set. It is like there is a second item that is not allowing
IE7 to open to the tab set I originally used with no problems.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Arty

[To keep track of things, it helps immensely if you include all of previous
message(s) in your replies to the newsgroup. Thank you.]

=> Was McAfee VirusScan, etc., running in the background when you installed
and/or uninstalled IE8 Beta 2?

=> Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode? To start
IE7 in No Add-ons mode:

1. Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without Add-ons;
or

2. Start | (All) Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet Explorer
(No add-ons).

Troubleshooting and Internet Explorer’s (No Add-ons) Mode:

=> Does the problem persist if you Reset IE7 Advanced settings (RIES)?
