She downloaded Safari 4, and guest what? the Top Sites option which is supposed to be next to the bookmark button never got installed, look and try everything to no avail, please could somebody help me how to fix or find a way to make it work, I installed and reinstalled safari 4 4x times already, scan for malware and the hole shabam, and nothing works, help....

The problem with those features is they don't work on older computers. You need to have a newer and more powerful video card to be able to use them. If your computer doesn't meet the requirements, the buttons you need to use the features will not appear.
Your graphics card may not be compatible.
Supported cards are ATI, Intel and nVidia.
Hope this helps

i just installed safari on my compaq v2000 ,over 3 yrs old with ati radeon 200m video device and its there and works for me,
a workaround for you might be to go to the toolbar to the far right top ,click on the icon that looks like a cough wheel and go to customize toolbar and drag the top site icon onto the tool bar, drop it on the very top of the toolbar next to the wheel icon

I did all that, I have a Toshiba Laptop and it works fine on mine, and that is the way I costumize my toolbar, Drag and drop. But it just won't work on my wifes averatec,( which is 3 years old, 128mb of video card, but its a SIS video card, it may not support Open GL. I was just hoping that somebody maybe knew a trick or a hack in order for it work.
Thanks anyways.

That's what I thought, I was just hoping maybe somebody knew a trick or a hack in order for it to work. the video card is a SiS and it doesn't support open GL. Thanks for the help.
