I don't use IE all that often, but I have IE7 installed for the wife on a couple computers
Just to clarify
When did you install IE7?
Is it IE7 RC1?
Right click an empty spot in the top toolbar and Select Menu Bar
That should give you the File>Edit>View>Favorites, etc...
Click on HELP>>About Internet Explorer
You should be using
Version 7.0.5700.6
Let me know if that's the verison your running
Just as a double check, in Windows Add/remove programs
IE7 should be listed as "Windows Internet Explorer 7"
You may not want to uninstall it yet
But if you still do, let me know, we should be able to find a way
