I kind of have the same problem. I'm using a notebook that came with Vista
Home Premium. Flip 3D used to work fine. I changed the desktop color scheme
to something else and now when I try to change back to Windows Aero it
changes to Windows Vista Basic instead. When I try the suggestions of
Windows button/2, I get the rectangle (doesn't go away. The Alt/Tab does.
I'm sure I've changed a setting, just not sure what setting. I want flip 3D
back. I am using the Windows key, not ALT. Help.

When I Alt-Tab now I don't get the usual display but instead a rectangle in

Time for a new video card maybe. It worked with my Vista Beta though so am
puzzled.

Same here. 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 with 2 gigs of ram and
the latest Nvidea card, and it's a stand-alone card not shared with system
ram.

Well gang, I finally figured out why my flip 3D wasn't working. Evidently I
downloaded and installed a program, Quicktime Player, that would only work in
a lesser display setting than what Aero likes and the program was loading
upon bootup. So check the taskbar icons beside the clock to see what programs
are resident.

Once I stopped Quicktime I was able to go into the display settings and
change it to Aero. Thanks for this free exchange of information. You saved
me from further bruising; as I was banging my head against the wall. Ray
