Alt-Tab showing classic icons instead of preview.

Hi There,
I recently found that my Alt-Tab no longer shows previews of windows. It
behaves like the Alt-Tab of Windows XP. My Flip 3D works well, and live
previews when mouse is hovered over taskbar icons also work well. What could
be my problem? Is there a setting to change this?

Hi,

Did you change away from Vista theme in the desktop properties?

Hi,

Check to make sure that it's still the Vista theme. If it is, then try going
to classic and reverting to Vista.
