I allowed IE 7 to load itself and then tweaked it, including installing the full-screen button, which worked okay on IE 6, but appeared non-functional in IE 7.
You can guess the rest.
I closed IE 7 and opened it again. When it opened, the frame was completely gone and the only thing that displayed was the HTML from my home page. Since the mini 9 lacks a F11 key, there's no way to turn off full-screen. All I can do is kill IE 7 with the Task Monitor (summoned via the three-fingered-salute).
Anything suggestions simpler than uninstalling IE? I do need it. There are some apps I use that expect it, rather than FF.
