features with Windows 7 upgrade

by oneCNETuser Dec 29, 2009 10:28AM PST

Hi, I upgraded my Windows Home Premium 64 bit to the Windows 7 64 bit home premium, but I cannot seem to get the Aero Peek to work when I hover over the little rectangle (of the taskbar) and also I noticed when I right click on the little rectangle, the options are Show Desktop or Peek at desktop which is greyed out. Is there some options to change this or did I install the Windows 7 upgrad CD inconrrectly. Please help! Thanks.

No make, no model.

I'm stumped but my bet is the machine needs drivers or a better video card.
