A small question. When I installed W7, the icons on the task bar displayed a small image of the program when I did a mouse-over. Now the have a text line giving info. Can't find how to change back. Didn't try to change in the first place. Thanks, Don
Hello Djangelico, and welcome to Seven Forums.
Are you using an Aero theme?
If you are, then double check these items:
Hope this helps,
- You must be have True Color (32 bit) set instead of High Color (16 bit).
- The desktop composition and Animate controls and elements inside windows options need to be enabled in Visual Effects.
- The Desktop Window Manager Session Manager and Themes Services need to be set as Started and Automatic.
- Refresh or update your WEI score. You will need an WEI score minimum of 2.0 in both Graphics & Gaming graphics in order for Aero to be activated.

Thanks for the ideas. All are as recommended but the situation persists. Weird.
Don,
If this only happened just recently, then you might consider doing a System Restore using a restore point dated before this started to hopefully fix it for you.
Probably done so already but: right-click taskbar, Properties, Taskbar buttons, Always combine, hide labels. Just try applying this again.
Taskbar Button Grouping - Enable or Disable
^Thanks Brink
yes I had tried that but did indeed do it again to no avail.
Don,
You might see if uninstalling and reinstalling your video drivers, then refreshing your WEI score may help.
If not, then as a test, create a new administrator account to see if it may just be your current account.
As it happens I had another account. I logged off and onto the other account and all was fine then returned to my main account and it was back to normal. Weird. I had done a reboot with no success yet this flip of user accounts cleared it. Ah well, I will just accept the result. Thanks for the help. Don
