Alt+Enter in ie7 tab

How can I restore what Alt+Enter does in ie7?
Alt+Enter in ie7 used to open a new tab with the same address. Now it doesn't.
How can I get it back?

First, press Alt+D to select the Address Bar. Then, press Alt+Enter
to open the address in the Address Bar in a new tab.

Why does no-one read these questions properly?!?!?!?!?

Alt+Enter USED TO work, now it doesn't. How can I get it back? (that's what
"restore" means!)

It does work if you ALT+D to get to the address bar first. (or click
there) At least it does for me...

That's great for you, Ben, but it doesn't for me. Again it used to, now it
doesn't.
Any further ideas anyone?

You're welcome.

I did read your question properly, and I gave an answer that,
according to the tests I ran before replying, should fix the problem.
Just pressing Alt+Enter doesn't work. You have to press Alt-D (or
click the cursor in the address bar) first.

If that doesn't fix the problem, I recommend posting your question in
the Internet Explorer news group.

Thank you Steve, I would be happy to post in the Ineternet Explorer newsgroup
but I can only find one specific to ie6 and I'm using ie7.
Do you have the power to ask for a new newsgroup for ie7? The ie6 newsgroup
is full of ie7 questions.
In the mean time, I've just discovered that Ctrl+T also does not work on my
machine to open a new blank tab.
Could these be connected and, if so, do you know where I could go to find a
solution (polite answers only, please ;-).

You're welcome, Johnny. The news group for IE7 is
microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general. If you're using a news
reader program (Agent, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, etc), subscribe
to that group. If you're using the web-based forums, click this link,
