I am using Windows 7 64 bit version, and when I try to install iTunes, it won’t let me install it. Any suggestions?

How do I remove the close button from window previews in Windows 7?

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009


In Windows 7, when you hover over an application in the taskbar, it gives you a thumbnail preview of the window. It also brings up the title, icon, and close button. I have a small screen, so I would like to strip the excess information from the frame so that all I see is the preview when I hover over an application. No close button. No title. No extra icon. Just the preview. Is that possible? And if so, how would I go about doing it?

I am going to be purchasing the Windows 7 Ultimate Edition when it comes out, and I have 3 computer in my home. Can I install Windows on more than one PC?
I am only going to be putting 7 on two computers at first (If it’s possible) because one of my computers is fine running XP. But later on I might put 7 on that one two. Isn’t it 3 computers max if I buy a valid copy of Windows 7 from stores?
