Comments on: Exclusive Look at Windows 7 Professional http://jamesblogs.com/2009/09/19/exclusive-look-at-windows-7-professional/ Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:33:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Donna Jones http://jamesblogs.com/2009/09/19/exclusive-look-at-windows-7-professional/#comment-810 Donna Jones Sat, 12 Dec 2009 14:49:20 +0000 http://www.james-blogs.com/?p=1417#comment-810 Have several web sites: tahtonka.com gator-woman.com leesburgareademocrats.org lakecountyptcruisers.org sachem-uncas.com ussbetelgeuse.com They are all built with MS FP., the final version of 2003 I cannot afford, nor do I think at my age, over 55, that I could learn to use a new editor, like Dreamweaver. So, I will continue my love-hate relationship with FP. The reason that I am writing is to ask about 2 things. I have hunted ad nauseum for a clean, royal blue ( for Democrats) navigation bar for a poiltical site like the one that is used on the democrats.org web site and a reader poll script to ask which issue is most important to our viewers like: health care, the economy, the environment, and of course, the wars. Here is the web site that I wish to use them on: www.leesburgareademocrats.org Yes, the site is brand new and I am just getting started on it for this group. BTW, if you are interested in wildlife, gator-woman.com is the one closest to my heart. I did it primarily for teachers and students to help make them aware of the fragile existence of these endangered species in Florida. Thank you for this great place of learning. Hope that you continue to help those of us out here who struggle with rotten editors and bad code, to do what makes us smile each day, our web sites~ thank you, Donna Jones Paisley, Florida Have several web sites:
tahtonka.com
gator-woman.com
leesburgareademocrats.org
lakecountyptcruisers.org
sachem-uncas.com
ussbetelgeuse.com

I was looking for a review of W7 like this. I almost enjoyed it. I think I will buy W7 for sure. Thanx for the information. I was looking for a review of W7 like this. I almost enjoyed it.

You can have Aero Glass which is full Aero with transparency and all. Aero basic which is Windows 7 styling along with Aero styling but with no transparency or Aero functions, and Classic which is essentially the Windows NT look, though classic looks might strange on a double the height taskbar! Hope that helps. The link you provided is how the themes are setup. You can have Aero Glass which is full Aero with transparency and all.

Is it possible to have the old streamlined start menu or is it just a gray version as shown here: http://www.istartedsomething.com/20081029/windows-7-themes-glass-basic-and-classic/ ?

Windows Update took over after I ran it grabbed most of mine (Even down to my laptops touch pad) which I was very grateful for. I did actually have to manually obtain both drivers for my nVidia GeForce 8200 M graphics card and also for my nForce Chipset. Other than that. Everything was sorted for me. As you said. Nothing better than Windows 7! Yes, I didn’t have to hunt for drivers. Windows Update took over after I ran it grabbed most of mine (Even down to my laptops touch pad) which I was very grateful for.

Just to let you know: there isn't a "hunt" required for the most of the drivers "missing" within installation! Just be connected to the Internet and wait a couple of minutes and all will installed automatically. I had only need to "hunt" for one driver for my Laptop and that was the internal Camera! Otherwise: Nothing better than Windows 7! I using Windows 7 since Beta and have to say: It’s the best Windows min. since 3.11, better in my opinion!

While I have probably annoyed people with "I HAS WINDOWS 7 PROFESSIONAL OMG OMG" I hope the screenshots have show people the awesomeness of Windows 7!
