Is it my imagination or,,,

A couple of my much older programs that I've installed on 7seem to look a bit different to how they are in XP.
Even though they pre-date 7 by quite a few years.

I wonder if 7 found some new files to add in to the old programs. It did not say anything just installed them trouble free.

What programs are you talking about? Are you sure it isn't the Aero graphics feature doing this?

You need to give us some more information when starting a thread so it reduces the back and forth questions and responses.

Sorry, more thinking out loud then a specific query.
However the two programs are Panasonic SD viewer and Paint Shop pro version 8.

Also just noted that the same Hard Disk monitor program now displays different toolbar icons in 7 then it does in XP.

As you say maybe aero graphics
