Vista - Switch between windows

03-11-2007

Hi, for some reason my window switcher shows all the programs that are open,
but when I put the cursor on the window switcher, they no longer move in 3D
style to go through all the programs. I can put the cursor on the program
and open, but not move around the screen? Does anyone else have this problem
and does anyone know how I can fix it? Thank you. Sandra

If I understand you correctly, you're saying that you can't shuffle through
the 3d windows with your pointer. That wouldn't be a glitch. If you want
to shuffle through them, the only way I know of doing it is with the
keyboard (Windows button + Tab). It acts much like Alt-tab. Does this not
answer your question? If not you might want to describe it another way.

I too have lost the 3D look to the Switch Between Windows. I'm running
Vista Business and until today the option showed a 3D image of the screens
open. Now it just shows a 2D list of what's open. I'd like to bring back
the 3D selection screen.

Never mind. It works as long as the notebook isn't docked and operating in
a dual monitor mode. If I switch between screens in the notebook mode, all
is well. It must have something to do with the video card within the Vaio.

I have the same trouble as Jat..
Yesterday my graphic driver seemed to roll back to the one, that comes with
Vista.
Could be that reason.. OR the Updates from yesterday.
Anyhow.. I'm gonna try reinstall NVidia driver..
