I want to put windows 7 on my laptop which currently has xp. I did one of those scan things to see if I can run it on my laptop and one of the errors was that my graphics card doesnt support aero or something like that. And since im on a laptop i dont think i can upgrade it, so what would windows 7 looks like without the aero? like do you still get that cool bar at the bottoms with the peeking and stuff? screen shots or video would really help thanks

Without Aero, you don't get any of that cool graphic stuff. It will look basic with no transparency, peek or preview. So, install at your own risk.

Your laptop sounds ancient,stay with XP or buy a new one

I was using Win Vista and Win 7 without aero effects and all that 'nice looking stuff' and to be honest it hadn't helped a lot (when we are talking about RAM and processor).

Without aero and all the effects those systems looks like Windows 98 - all gray and simple.

The "peeking stuff" won't work without Aero. If you like the XP style, then you can disable Aero by changing your skin to Luna or something similar. However, I don't know what will happen before you change it...
