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.

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????

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

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.

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

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.
