so i got windows 7 on my new laptop

if you're interested then write a list of things that bother you about it , and possible fixess

the main thing that comes to mind is this

[image loading]



another thing, how the hell do you get msn to stay in the tray like it does in other versions of windows? as you can see in screenshot, msn just stays on the taskbar all the time even when you cross it off

Yeah I hate that too.

But seriously the fact that you can no longer drag folders to the sides of the desktop and make quick lists is really retarded. Now I have to take like thirty clicks to make it to folders i commonly use.

And i have 0 idea how the taskbar is supposed to make things easier. In xp it was just simple worded bars for programs (or whatever you want to call them) Now its entirely thumbnails and it GROUPS EVERYTHING which means if you have multiple windows of a program open you have to click multiple times to open just one of them - RETARDED. Of course you can choose to make the taskbar the same as vista/xp if you want but I dont see how they can say it makes the OS easier to use..

i think msn just stays in taskbar..because I can't get mine to go away either

as for SC. It works fine on mine but the colors kept inverting. However, I found a batch file thing that fixes it so it works fine now...even though I rarely play SC anymore

For MSN to fix it, go into program folders and find the msn .exe file, right click it and run it in compatability mode for XP or Vista.

For the taskbar poping up you'd understand it if you left the theme as the W7 theme instead of the windows 2000 theme. It works decently but is far from making anything easier. I believe there is a setting when you right click the taskbar and go to properties. It might be ungroup programs or something

Edit: I dont think I read your question right the first time, this prob doesnt fix anything

okay thanks, i right click troubleshooted to change live msns compatibility, it appears as only one window now, but when i cross it off to minimise it just closes (or beome unaccessable)

i cnt-alt-deleted to bring up task manager to find it, but i must have pressed something....

now task manager is just showing as a frame which shows the running programs but NO options or title bar or anything...its just a frame. wth. probably fix when i reboot

Right click taskbar. Head into Properties and change Taskbar buttons to Never combine. That way it won't combine like that.

And as previously said, for MSN just run in compatability mode.

OH YEAH THATS THE OTHER THING

you cant fucking alt-tab properly anymore, it takes about a second to load it. unless its my new laptop that has slow or unusual key responses. if i try to alt tab quickly 6 times, letting go each time, only 2-3 of them will work. anyone else?

No problem to me, seems that your lap is kinda buggy or smth :/

Also i don't understand why you're using "classical" composition, is it really that hard to get used to new Aero ones? They're pretty cool, and i have no problems like you with these.

Also try pressing windows key + tab, good alternative for alt+tab

windows tab takes me to top of webpage, doesnt do anything else...


that aero thing was the most disgusting and interefereing thing ive ever seen in my ENTIRE LIFE
it is absolutely unecessary and detracts in 100000e600 ways
i cant believe those words just came out of your mouth
are you a dragon?

No, i am a person who is not afraid of changes like most people who would like W7 to be Windows XP+ ... I really find NO flaw in aero but it is eye-candy, unlike "classic" (archaic IMO) composition. Come on times are changing, i've been using for like 10 years similar composition which was slightly changing since times of Windows 98 :| Time for something nice, like this one

That's weird that windows+tab doesn't work, maybe it works only in professional or x64 then.

I'm on Professional 64 bit Win7 and I'll say tat my Windows+Tab only takes me to the top of the page as well. Although I'm not using Aero either, so that might be the reason.

I'm blaming not being able to use the ICCup TV (replay thing) plugin in Chaoslauncher on Windows 7 until it either works or I find something better to blame.
