Reg Disabled Windows Preview(Thumbnails ) and Power

[The Survivor]

I use a Vista Business OS installed but am unable to see thumbnail preview in
my taskbar. When I check the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties it shows as
greyed but deselected and I have not found a way to enable this option.
Similarly under Notification Area Tab the Power option inder System Icons
also is greyed and deselected. Can anyone tell me how to select this 'Show
Window previews (thumbnails)' and 'Power' options.

Thanks in advance

You may not have Windows Aero's enabled.

To enable it right click the start button.

Click properties.

Click the Taskbar tab on the popup.

Next click the "How do I customize the taskbar.

Click on "The Taskbar (Overview)". Scroll down to "See Previews of you
Window Pane"

Now follow the instructions in that area. If you still can't get Window's
Aero to work more than likely you installed a program that requires a
different display setting and has disabled it and switched the setting to
Window's Basic. You will need to disable that program in order for Aero to
work. I had this problem with a program called Unlead DVD witch is a DVD
palyer. Totally not needed.

GL hope it owrks for you.
