few weird errors with Win7 64bit

Ok using my system as normally, then just few hours ago, some odd things started to happen.

Firstly cannot alt-tab, it just doesn't stay, secondly I can't get the preview of the application on the task bar won't appear correctly. Each time I move the mouse on task bar, the preview flickers as it were.



Now the last things I installed on my system was Firefox RC1 and new nVidia drivers, now removed RC1 of firefox, updated the drivers as I thought it was a graphical error but no luck, anyone else the same issues?

Hi I'm running 7232 x64 and I just tried alt-tab. It appears for a millisecond and then start to flicker incredibly fast.
This is not a function I use much so I just found out since you mentioned it.
I don't get any problems with the aeropeek previews on the task bar. They display perfectly when I mouse over them also aero flip is working fine.
The alt-tab problem is no deal breaker for me and I'm very pleased with 7232.
Just a bit annoying but no biggie.
Have you just noticed it or has it always done that?

Cheers, John

ps. Oh, and a very warm welcome to the forum

problem is, even though I never used it before, now I know it's there it annoys me.
I reckon it's something to do with show desktop as that sometimes happens as well.

this bug might just be RC and 7232.
odd though, if it was fixed in 7201.
