Why won't my 3D flip not working?

[nerd93]

Well I understand that the way to open your 3D flip view is start button(windows logo) and tab, I do that and it don't work. My OS is Windows Vista Home Premium so is it for certain bits, like 32x,64x or 86x?

Have you got Windows Aero running?

I almost hate to ask this... but you're hitting what?!? Start button as in bottom left corner of the Windows desktop? or the Windows logo key on the keyboard?

Flip 3D is the Windows (Keyboard) Key + Tab.

When you press the windows key on the keyboard it brings up the start menu, so he is correct.

Is your areo running? (seethrough titlebar and kinda seethrough start menu) And you have to have at least one window open. if your areo isn't running is your computer able to handle it?

i just press on my scroll wheel on my g5 mouse and it works, alot faster and convenient than hitting keys anwyay

Ok thanks people but yes I am not id*** and am using the windows logo on the screen, that's why. Jokes on the keyboard, also how can I see if Windows Aero is running?

Are you running the "Vista Basic" theme, or the Vista Aero theme? You can see this in the display properties under "Themes".

[nerd93]

It says I am using Windows Vista theme, so when I search it I find the aero in the theme files and use it. It still says Windows Vista, so can anyone give me their download to their aero theme?

[fizban2]

easiest way to tell if you are running aero is if your windows has the translucent glass edging. if this is so then Aero is running and you should be able to to 3-d flip

[nerd93]

Well how do I get the glass effect back, I kinda changed it.

Thank-you to everyone who helped I got it to work.
