    Windows 7 display looks "strange"


    Hi. I just got rid of a nasty virus and now my Windows 7 is looking real weird.

    I took a print screen: http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/4889/unledtos.png

    How do I get it to look like it did in its default setting? When it looks like this is there something wrong? Please help. Thanks in advance.

    It seems Windows Aero was disabled, which makes the look of the UI revert to XP style.

    You should be able to re-enable Aero by selecting an Aero theme under Control Panel -> Personalization.

    Thank you so much. Now how do I get my taskbar items to look like this?

    Like right now if I open a few firefox windows, it's spread all out across the taskbar. I want it like before where it just had the Firefox logo with all the windows showing in small boxes when I put the mouse over it.

    Basically, is there a way to just restore everything back to default like how it looked when I first got the computer? Because I notice font sizes and everything changed as well.

    Hello Boss123, right click anywhere on a blank space of the taskbar then under the taskbar buttons area select the "always combine, hide labels" option from the drop down menu.
