Cannot move a window unless titlebar problem
Right this is properly getting on my bits now.
as you know on xp you can move an msn box or an un-maximised window easily by left clicking anywhere on it and holding button down and then move ya window box, but on win7 it wont let me do that, i have to keep left clicking and dragging via the blue title bar at the top of the box!!!
its properly getting on me wick, ive tried disabling the windows snap feature and all that jazz and still cant get this pile of crap how i like it.
its just doing me head in cos i cant quickly move a box out me way without being more precise and having to find the opaque blue bar to then move the damb boxes out the way.
anybody got a tool or a method or a theme or something to get this proper annoying feature dead and burried?
thanks.

I think that's just the way it is built Spinni.
Surely it is a very minor thing and nothing worth worrying about really?
You just get used to it.

Re: Cannot move a window unless titlebar problem
well thats strange then, whats also strange is only beta versions of msn would allow the window drag too (beta are nearly only working versions left other than v14.0.8117.416
i know for a fact u could drag no probs on xp without needing the title bar fergs?
**********************
@ mags i tried to install xp on this machine and it blue screened after the cd read all its drivers, we put it down to maybe it couldnt cope with the amount of ram installed, that isnt the case afaik, the case lies with scsi and IDE in your bios, apparetntly id need to put the thing to compatible mode to allow installation to continue!.

Re: Cannot move a window unless titlebar problem
yer paragon is good, i made a backup of xp to a few drives and is so much quicker to get you back up and running within a few mins as long as your within a dual layered disk size Hidden Content or you can ofc store a copy on another drive and copy it back Hidden Content
