Some websites tell me that the site requires 5.0 or later and I have
internet explorer 7 already, also, why does it keep taking me to the runonce
page frequently, I change my home page but it seems to always go back to the
runonce page. One more question, in the tools>internet options>programs> my
calendar tab is blank, why is that? I need a calendar.

Hi,
It is possible that a third-party security program is preventing the
"runonce" page from saving your settings. You can bypass the page with
registry edits available from:
http://www.enhanceie.com/ie/troubleshoot.asp
and/or
945385- A blank Web page is displayed when you start Internet Explorer 7:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945385/en-us

It is also possible that the same, or another, security program is blocking
header/user agent info from websites. That's why websites can't determine
the version. Look through options of third-party programs for a setting
like:
Enable browser privacy, block header info, block personally identifiable
user data, etc.

IE doesn't include a calendar. That would have to be provided by another
program such as Outlook (not Outlook Express)

These problems may also indicate a bad installation of IE7. Uninstall /
reinstall IE7 making sure that antivirus/antispyware programs are disabled
during the install.
Follow all other tips at:

Hope this helps,

Norton IS privacy control and others block the user agent (information about
your browser). If you have such security programs installed configure them
to allow the UA to be sent to the website and then the correct version of IE
will be detected.
