Hello,

Recently purchased a new computer with XL 2007 installed on it. All of
the keyboard short-cuts I have grown accustomed to over my 10+ years
of Excel are all now changed. For example, to paste values, I did,
Alt- E-S-V, but now I just get a funky error message. Worse, even when
I try to search with my mouse I still can't even find the command to
paste special!!!

How do I make the toolbar / menubar like it use to be???

In time you will get use to it. But here are sites that offer classic
toolbar addins
http://www.toolbartoggle.com/ (I have used this and quite liked it)

Alt-E-S-V does still work, btw.

You're doing something wrong. The old keyboard shortcuts are still
available in Excel 2007, and Paste Special is available in the context
menu of every cell. The new shortcut is Alt+H+V+S+V. I have this
file available that shows the letter that is applicable to each
command:
