“Apps will flash when they want to get your attention, rather than the annoying blinking that used to happen in Vista.”

Oh yeah, flashing is so much less annoying than blinking.

Sounds like a toolbar that either came pre-installed on your computer or you accidentally installed. Try running this program and see if that helps:

Then try searching for and removing spyware using Spybot Search & Destroy:

To use that, use the update feature, then the immunize feature, then the search and destroy feature and finally click “Fix selected problems”

Hope that helps!

After playing with Win7 for a few hours (You don’t want me to tell you all the things I said during that time) I began searching for ways to revert to a more xp type task bar. It took some work (maybe there is an easier way but I couldn’t find it. I finally have my quick start menu back and the text telling me what is on the task bar. Not just a bunch of icons I have to put my mouse on to see a pop up window to tell me what it is.

So far I am not impressed with the “improvements”.

I’ve been using the Windows 7 RC for a few weeks now and I agree that the taskbar is the best new feature. That’s saying a lot, because everything about this OS has been positive for me. Despite JFrankParnell’s hostility toward it, the new taskbar (like OS X’s dock) really makes things more efficient and productive.

Another great feature, which is kind of related, is the integration of Areo Peek with Alt-Tab. It’s kind of like the F9 (or is it F11) functionality in OS X, except a better, more intuitive way of providing the same useful function.

And then of course there’s the fact that it’s faster than either Vista or XP were on the same computer, that’s a huge plus! My Dell laptop will be the next machine I install it on. It’s been through Vista, Ubuntu and now OS X, but 7 is the first OS I’ve used that I actually intend to keep on it instead of replacing it next time I feel like trying something new.

the mouseover time can be changed to no delay with xdntweaker that now works with win7. with aero switched on, you can get a preview of what your windows are doing even as they change and not have a delay with the tweaker.

Wow.. Its easy to change it back to the old style… Right in the properties menu.. first thing you see actually.. I changed it back to the old way for about an hour. Decided I like the new way better.

btw, you and 90% of the net need to learn that you aren’t being cool by slamming something like that. You just look kind of blind sighted.

Wow, such anger for a feature that can easily be turned off.
