IE8, How to get new tabs page back?

[Bob]

(I haven't had any problems with IE before so I keep using it.  I'm not switching.  That's not what this thread is about.)

When I opened a new tab before it showed the last webpages I had been on with icons.  I found it convenient -- Click open a new tab and click on the icon of the page I wanted.

That disappeared on me.  Now I click a new tab and it's a blank screen with some text.  It shows the last websites I viewed while that IE session was open.  Not quite what I want.

How do I get that back to have the icons?  (And why did that happen?  Was it an update or did I accidentally hit the wrong button?)

That's it.  Thanks.  I did my own search before but came up with nothing.  I've got the Google toolbar and it's part of that.  I thought it was was IE.  Thanks.
