Vista Window tab animation | vgn-AR21M

Hey,

I know this isn't a Vista forum, but I'm not sure if the problem is that the laptop doesnt support it (which I seriously doubt) or wether I'm being thick.

I can't get it to tab through the windows in that new funky animated style. The only tab option I can see is just like the one in XP.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Do you mean the one where all the windows flip into the groovy 3d style thing?

If so, there should be a button in your Quick Launch Toolbar that says Switch Between Windows . There's probably a HotKey but I haven't found it yet.

I just found it. Press and hold the Windows key and then tap the Tab key.

Hmm, thats what I thought but that button just comes up with the normal window tab thing.

And the hot key doesnt seem to work on here either.

Maybe I need to download some sort of driver :smileythinking:

Have you got Aero turned off? When it's turned off you get the XP style Alt-Tab when you press the button instead of the groovy 3D Flip doohickey.

To turn on Aero, right click on the Desktop, select Personalise --> Window Color and Appearance --> Open classic appearance properties for more color options --> Windows Aero.

Some programs turn off Aero without asking.

Hope that helps

You can post about any OS here.
