Ok I use Google Chrome for my browser. Suddenly today when I hove over the Chrome icon in the task bar it won't preview my open tabs like usual. If I use Win Explorer it still does, and it does for every other program but not for Chrome. I am trying to figure out what I fucked up. Can anyone help?

i wouldnt know off hand...

But since other programs\windows still work, we can rule out Aero not turned on or functioning properly!

First thing i would do is just restart the computer and try again...

Maybe a glitch or a temporal out of memory scenario occured without you knowing.

Well, after doing some reading, i just found out that Chrome ONLY supports preview tabbing in windows 7 so if it worked in Vista, you were damn lucky when it was working.

I was like wtf, XP doesn't have a preview on the browser.... anyway, does this help?

In Explorer, browse to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\ and right-click on chrome.exe, selecting Properties.

Under the Compatibility tab uncheck the box that reads Run this program in compatibility mode for.
