If you look at the GettingStarted tiddler on tiddlywiki.com you will see
that there are specific instructions for using TiddlyWiki with Internet
Explorer. Give those instructions a try and let me know how you get on.

Google provide free discussion groups that anyone can setup and use.

I'm the primary author of TiddlyWiki, and as such I spend a good deal of my
time trying to help users so that I can learn more about how to improve it
for the future. Many other people also answer questions here, it just
happens that I got here first to answer your original question. By
answering the questions here in public the advantage is that anyone can
read them and benefit in the future.

There's a lot of help on tiddlywiki.com. Your best bet for finding things
out is to search on tiddlywiki.com first, and if you can't find the answer
you wanted then come and ask the question here.

 TiddlyWiki isn't really like the old fashioned packaged software model of
the past. It's a community effort where people work on it to benefit
themselves but choose to help others at the same time. Everyone's focus is
on improving the product and making it easier to use.

Best wishes

Jeremy
