3d flip

[Guest]

Hi, I got vista a few days ago, the 3d flip worked fine when i first started
using it, a few days later it stopped working, it now only displays small
icons instead of the 3d windows, cant think what I may have done or how to
activate it again...any ideas

thanks, Smiffy

Hi Smiffy ,
Are you pressing the windows key plus the tab key, and not alt and tab ?

Hi, Even when i press alt and tab all that gets brought up is a box in the
center of the screen with a small icon of all the windows i have open instead
of the 3d flip. the only thing i can think that may have change something is
installing msn 7.5, but i am pretty sure i had this problem before that

Again, you must press *WINDOWS KEY* plus Tab...*NOT* Alt plus Tab.

when I press windows key + tab i still dont get the 3d flip windows, my
computer doesnt do anything. It does highlight on desktop the last icon i
clicked and then off again, but no 3d flip or much else helping

smiffy,

I get this all the time on my laptop because I cannot run the Aero Glass
theme.
If your computer is able to run the full Aero theme (you said it used to
work, so i'm guessing it does!) I would check the Theme settings and make
sure it's on the correct setting!

I have the same problem, I ran iTunes and it converted to vista basic, now I
can't get it to change back, my system requirements are more than capable, i
have Java 6 and there are no "non Microsoft" processes running

well mine ran it to start with so i know it can, i have selected the theme
vista but it still doesnt work, its all a bit crappy if you ask me

The same thing is happenin to me, I just got a new computer a few days ago,
and now the 3D flip is not working? I have no idea, it was before, and now I
just get the little window with small icons in it to choose from. I know I
could press ALT+TAB, or the windows+TAB, neither work or they just do the
same thing with the box of icons. I know someone knows this one????

If you press CTRL+WINDOWS+TAB you will get areo. If you press any other
combination of keys ie: ALT+TAB you will get the window of icons. Otherwise
you do not have Aero set up correctly.

I click the icon for flip 3d and get a small box in the center of my screen
with icons of the windows I have open. I did'nt change anything. Why would
windows change itself? I've got a Sony Vaio (desktop) with 2 gigs of ram and
the latest Nvidea card, and it's a stand-alone card not shared with system
ram. The only way I can get the flip 3d to work again is to restart my
system. This has to be some issue with Vista, it's kinda annoying to try and
use it and it work a quarter of the time and then it not 3/4 of the time.

Details of this behavior has been posted here many times and it always ends
up being an issue with the video card drivers. If you have updated the
drivers recently, try rolling back to the previoius version. If not, look
for a newer version.
