Default Apple Safari 4 on Windows XP

Hi all..

I recently downloaded Safari 4 on my desktop pc running windows xp and it's running fine, very quick and the top sites function looks great...

I downloaded it on my laptop also running xp but the top sites icon isn't there and there is nothing in preferences to turn it on or off...

I uninstalled it and reintalled it again with the same issue - no top sites icon..

Any ideas?, is there something missing on my laptop that I need to get safari 4 working properly?

cheers

Andy

I have had exactly the same problem, runs fine on my desktop with "top sites" but not on my lappy.
I can only think that it's a screen resolution issue.
The desktop is 1680x1050 but the lappy is only 1024x768 and cannot handle the miniature windows.
Anyone else have any ideas?

That's really bad coding imo.
