Windows 7: Theme and Aero questions

original title: duty 7 acclimitizing of the extreme difficulty of XP. None of the online instructions seem to resemble what I do experience or the other.

I don't know why this is, but none of the instructions related to windows 7 seem to resemble what I see on the screen. My biggest hang up right now is the 'theme' of windows 7 which, in theory, can change to the classic version of windows - only "customization" routines described on several sites, including microsoft seems to apply.

so, how can we get the classic them anyway?

and how to recover the function of the taskbar where rolling on all open programs get it a preview of the window? He disappeared, and I don't see the option to bring him back.

and say that I wanted to see the control panel in "classic" mode, how do I do this?

I'm so lost...

Yes, I know where is the persolization window, but clicking on a classical theme of windows gives me different colors but exactly the same confusing features. I don't really see a huge difference. I'm looking for is the menus gray neutral without the many contours, lines, shadows and transparencies that I see when I click on a "classic" theme Basically, I want it looks like XP - which he did not.

Even when I use a "aero" theme I always get only the text when I rollover an item in the taskbar.

really, this shouldn't be so hard, and I'm beginning to wonder if there is something wrong with my computer itself. Windows 7 came preloaded with my new HP laptop

Hello

If you have an Aero theme enabled, you should definitely see a thumbnail popup for a program that has files or open Web sites. You can ask HP support about it. You can also run the Aero troubleshooter.

Open the Aero Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel.

In the search box, type Troubleshooting, click Troubleshootingand then, under appearance and personalization, click display Aero desktop effects.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

In the window that appears, select Advanced link at the bottom of the window and place a check in the option apply repairs automatically .

Click the Next button.

If the convenience store doesn't find any problems, select the Explore additional options .

As to make Windows 7 looks exactly like XP, it will be difficult to do because so many components have been changed, first in Vista and then even more in Windows 7.

If you use the classic theme, you can go to customize and click the color at the bottom of the window. This will display the dialog box options display old style that you can use to change the colors on many elements, such as Menus, message boxes, etc.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for using Windows 7
