When I Alt-Tab now I don't get the usual display but instead a rectangle in
the centre of the screen containing miniature pics of the pages I have open.
Time for a new video card maybe. It worked with my Vista Beta though so am
puzzled.

What happens when you use Windows-key and Tab?

It may have turned Aero off on your desktop. You can right click the desktop
and go to personalization. Then on
Theme, and change it to Aero.

That should bring it back. Mine was doing the same this morning after Aero
stopped.

Duh...I get the stupid prize. It's the Windows key not the alt key!!
Thanks.

It was my fault...clicking Alt/Tab instead of Windows/Tab. Thx ;-)

You've got balls admitting such a silly mistake. I try to be as brave
when I do something like that (and it happens to most of us, probably
more often then we usually admit)

Yes, alt+tab does the same thing it has done in just about all versions of
Windows that I can remember, possibly even 3.1. The only thing is is that
under Vista, alt+tab accomplishes that with a bit more graphic flourish.

Depending on how your system is set up (I won't try to explain here) holding
the Windows key and pressing the number 2 also brings up Flip 3d. However,
unlike when you access it using Windows+tab, Flip 3d stays on your screen
after you let up on the keys. You can scroll through the pages if your mouse
has a wheel and you can pick which page you want to come up by clicking on
it with the mouse pointer.

LOL, thanks.

The 2 thing doesn't do anything here..unfortunately.

That depends on your quicklaunch configuration -- Wn+2 brings up the
second item in your quicklaunch toolbar.

If quicklaunch is turned off, so is that shortcut.
