I had some trouble with projecting my monitor to my TV, which I've sorted thanks to John Galt. Since fiddling with my drivers I have a different issue. Nothing is wrong but when I mouse over to the task bar, to the browser icon, I don't get the small screen previews like I did when I first installed Windows 7. They just stack up with written info like with XP.
Any thoughts?
Hello Geek Wannabee,
How many tabs do you have open in Internet Explorer at the time? If you have a lot open, then you run out of room for the thumbnail previews and it places them in a jump list instead until you close more tabs and they can fit again. Do your other items on the taskbar have preview thumbnails for them when they are open?
Hope this helps,
Shawn
To give you an indication, on my system I can have 11 IE tabs open and they display as thumbnails. Having 12 or more open, they no longer display as thumbnails, but as a jump list. This is perfectly normal, but the actual number where the display changes from thumbnails to jump list will vary according to the size of your screen and the resolution you are using.
could also be a simple thing like not having an aero theme
On the taskbar-properties check for " Taskbar Buttons: Always combine, hide labels".
I think you'll get further from there...

I don't get the preview browser windows even with only one or two windows open. I checked the combine always hide tab and nada. Thanks for the input!
I agree with redsoxm16, it is an aero thing. Happened to me once when I changed to classic windows desktop.
Nada as in no change. I did 'restart' themes in services.msc as suggested and still my browser preview is the same as before with no mini window of the open browser windows. It's gotta be something simple. Thanks for taking the time.
I downloaded the latest updates and things are back to normal...thanks again!
