After letting Windows 7 to automatically upgrade my system, I found that the taskbar was no longer transparent. So I ran the trouble shooting features to find out why the transparency feature was gone. <\/p>\n

Desktop -> Right Click -> Personalize -> Window Color<\/p>\n

The transparency feature is not available. So I clicked on the trouble shooting link, and Windows complains about the incompatibility of the graphic card.<\/p>\n

Story learned: Never install any graphic driver developed by Microsoft.<\/p>\n
