I'm too old for Windows7

[Limey777]

Can I get some help please? Trying to play online but when I go to the taskbar to switch between tables that damn silly preview thingymebob keeps popping up and getting in the way. I can't find a way to turn it off. Works great for surfing but bloody useless for playing online.
Anyhow, I know we have a few young computer gurus in here that can help me with this issue/dilemma and I'd appreciate any helpful advice.

Downgrade to XP, it works...

newfangled bs hopeless, lol

trouble is with m/soft is every time they upgrade their s/w it doesn't seem their s/w has been properly tested so if you have a program that works, stick with it, instead of gratuitously upgrading to a program which hasn't been approved...they release stuff to the general public which, normally, hasn't been thru the full routine. beware of instant upgrades, they are often more trouble than they are worth...

what is it that's popping up, exactly, while you're switching tables?? there will be a way of closing it down but it may be v minute as they want u to look at or indulge in some more of their s/w options...try right click, delete...

don't blame me if you go out on final table while doing this

Alt + Tab?

It's that little preview panel at the bottom of the screen. Gets in the way and seems to have a mind of it's own. Tried to disable it in properties, can't figure out how.
Tried Alt-Tab and that puts the panel in the middle of the screen until I let go of the keys and it goes back to the bottom of the screen.
When it pops up it covers the bet/call/fold/check and I keeep clicking on the wrong tables, back to the penny tables till I figure it out.
I keep thinking about that TV commercial, "Windows 7 was my idea" well, nice of them to own up to it at least.

try
local group policy editor
go to
control panel
setting
prohibit access to control panel...double click on this and select enable, which should, apparently, lol, disable it...

good luck...

better back up anything you're working on, just in case...

if this doesn't solve the prob or isn't the relevant option...try searching online...
