When I first received my system I was able to point to programs that were
minimized on the bottom of my screen and get a "mini-view" of the program,
whether it be a web page or Document. Unfortunately the system does not do
this little feature anymore and I have been scouring the computer to fix
whatever I turned off to bring this back! I know it's a little thing but I
enjoy it. Help if you can!

You turned Windows Aero off.

Right-click an empty area of the taskbar, and then click PROPERTIES
Check the box that reads "show window previews (thumbnails)"

using vista for long...i'm not too sure what Windows Aero is or how I can
switch this back on, please could someone tell me exactly how?

If AERO is available in your Vista version, and if your hardware
supports it, check out START menu|HELP & SUPPORT. Search for "The Taskbar."
