I have Internet Explorer 7 (not beta) and is not showing Adsense Ads.
Firefox does.

What is going on?
Must I "enable" something?

I just upgraded to IE7 and the ads show fine.
I didn't change any settings.

even if it was disabled it wouldn't take long for our visitors to enable it to use media content based web-sites.. we should be fine :)

Powdork:

Where do I enable javascript exactly. Is that an option in "Internet Options" menu in IE 7?

I'd be surprised if it wasn't enabled by default. however, to enable it IE7 you would open the browser. At the top of the screen choose the Tools icon (unlike the tools tab in older versions), then select Internet Options. Then click the Security tab and choose Custom Level. Scroll down a good ways to the Scripting section. Check the box next to enable underneath Active Scripting, then click OK.

I've just loaded my sites in IE7. I wasn't even thinking about Adsense actually, I wanted to see if the templates looked ok. The good news is the templates are fine; the bad news is no ads.

I've also noticed a big discrepancy recently between my stats and page impressions recorded by Adsense. No, I'm not getting confused between genuine traffic and bots, I'm talking about real referrals from Google, Yahoo searches etc clocking up far more page views than Adsense is recording. The only difference, is a big increase in searches from visitors with IE7.

I can only conclude that the two are related - and a big proportion of IE7 users are also not seeing any ads, hence the big drop in Adsense page impressions.

One month ago, I reported something similar (AdSense not showing due to IE7 turning off javascript).

Another item to check under "Security" (custom level) is "Display mixed content" and set it to enabled. It's located a little beyond halfway down the list.

Tried that too. I can't belive it doesn't work. I see adsense ads ONLY in google search page. I don't see adsense blocks in other sites.
I see search boxes but I don't see adlinks or other ads...
Strange.
