Reg Disabled Windows Preview(Thumbnails ) and Power
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.

Thanks in advance Hi Survivor, This will show you how to turn the Taskbar thumbnails on. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/73...s-taskbar.html This will show you how to turn on the Notificaton System Power icon. This option will remain grayed out unless your using a laptop on battery power or a computer that is on a UPS battery backup. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/10...tem-icons.html Shawn -- Brink *There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.* '*Vista Forums*' (http://www.vistax64.com/index.php?referrerid=2980) *Please post feedback to help others.*
