Turn on Aero interface !



1. Right click on the Start button and click on Properties, or right click on any empty space on the Taskbar and click on Properties.

2. Go to the Taskbar tab.

3. To turn on Desktop Preview, check and tick the Use Desktop Preview checkbox.



Click on OK.

Also, if you have too many IE windows/tabs open, there will be only titles instead of previews.

Not do I but, fwiw, Do you have Aero running?. Taskbar window previews won't work unless your computer is running Windows Aero. Aero is not available in Windows 7 Home editions.
