Does anyone know how to do this in Vista?

[Guest]

Hi, yesterday I was fidgeting around with my keyboard, and I was installing
some batteries into it, and during the process, when they were in, hit a
combination of keys accidentally, and my screen split up and turned into 3
big thumbnails of the programs that were open, I have included a screenshot
to aid in my description. I have been using vista for almost a year now,
since the beta times, and have never come across this feature. I tried
knowledge base for clues, but there is no mention of such a feature, has
anyone here ever come across it? I have asked another person who has
knowledge of Vista, and computers in general, hes a writer at PCMag, and he
confirmed that he has never seen this either. I have no programs installed
that would enable me to do this. Please post if you have any idea on how to
do this, because its a pretty cool feature, and this screenshot is mine, I
took it.

Oh, and also, it has the alt-tab type of functionality where u can use teh
arrow keys to cycle through the windows, and its kinda like flip-3d but
different. u can use your mouse to hover over the different windows and
choose.

That looks like Beryl. Don't know if it will work with Vista, but with
Beryl, you just move your cursor to the upper right hand corner of your
screen. To toggle back, you click on one of the "thumbnails".

You aren't reading correctly, im using windows Vista, its on a Vista Ultimate
setup, its the final version, and has all the latest updates, it is my
computer, and I am typing this on it now. I know what beryl is, but am not
that experienced with it.

Interesting. I need the double click function for the middle
button/scroll wheel but it's a nice feature! Thanks for the
information.

Not the same as Instant Viewer, but a similar effect is available when
you right-click on the taskbar and then choose one of the three ways to
arrange your windows:

Yeah, it's a neat little piece of software for Intellipoint mouse use.

It shows. What you described and what your screen shot illustrates is
available with Beryl. Now how you toggle from a normal desktop to what
your screen shot shows in Vista, I have no idea.

I was trying to help by suggesting that perhaps Vista worked the same
way as Ubuntu with this feature. I guess your hatred for anyone who
doesn't have their a** firmly up MS' butt prevented you from reading that.

If you don't know how Vista works, don't post. And, dude... you're the hater
here. You're the one suggesting I have my head up MS's butt. I've never said
likewise about you and your love affair with Ubuntu. Nor would I.

It may be a Beryl-like feature as built into your display adapter's
drivers and bundled software.

You can't help a person asking a Vista specific question if you've never
touched Vista. C'mon, who are you trying to BS? Yourself?
