How do you make it so when you hover over an icon of an open window on the taskbar it shows the contents of the window?? Mine only shows the title.

You need to first delete Win 7 because older OS can’t be installed after newer OS

hi, can i ask a question? if i am using a windows 7 at present, is it ok if ill just install the win. vista? or it needs first to reformat the win 7 then install first the vista,then after that install the win 7 again.

ok!!!! the computer is turned on and you are in the desk top, then you will insert the dvd of windows seven? then click install now?
is that correct? or you need to put the disk then restart?

when you insert the windows seven disk you need to restart the computer? then boot from disk then the windows seven window will apear?

hey i am not talking about win 7`s system files……i am talking about Vista`s system files…..even if i am running win 7, i dnt think that it will allow me to delete the Vista`s system files…..what say?????

drjohnny89 February 19, 2010 at 7:31 am

@singhinthehouse your windows 7 system files has a separate file system of its own, , they are not interdependent so removing the system files is okay,

singhinthehouse February 19, 2010 at 8:18 am

are u sure,it will allow me to delete that……coz these all are system files…..????

drjohnny89 February 19, 2010 at 8:32 am

run in windows 7 and delete all of vistas shit… make sure you back up your media

singhinthehouse February 19, 2010 at 8:38 am

kind of. maybe you would help me get acquianted with the more trendy “you’re ugly” jokes.

justinaurelius February 19, 2010 at 9:34 am

That was profound!
I”your mother” jokes were in style when I was a kid. Are you that far behind the times?

tetankemint February 19, 2010 at 10:33 am

your mother would beg to differ

justinaurelius February 19, 2010 at 10:55 am

You’re right.
You’re too ugly to use a Mac.

tetankemint February 19, 2010 at 11:34 am

no thanks

justinaurelius February 19, 2010 at 12:03 pm

then get a mac.
It does both better than Windows and you don’t have to dual boot.

tetankemint February 19, 2010 at 12:59 pm

what if i want 2 xp’s, one for visual/audio editing, the other for normal stuff?

MoisChanVsTamama February 19, 2010 at 1:15 pm

Things I am STILL worried about: The ridiculously small amount of space my computer will have; I might screw up my computer; My grandfather’s going to get pissed at me.

The Windows 7 beta is over, so you need to buy a Windows 7 disc.

tomary97 February 19, 2010 at 2:27 pm
