Minor problem with Vista.
 

i don't know what I did, but I accidentally pressed something, or did something to my laptop. It's brand new, and it's supposed to do that thing where when you hold the cursor over the window, it shows a smaller version of it, and it's not. Also, the bottom and top of my Windows Media Player is white, and the shortcut next to the Start button, the "Switch between windows" one, instead of doing the 3D models of all open browsers, this little box pops up instead. Anybody have a solution? It's nothing major, but I liked it how it was.

I think you turned off your aero visual style and switched to basic.
EDIT: Or theirs a program that doesn't support it.

How do I switch it back to Aero then?

Re: Minor problem with Vista.
 

Right-click > Personalize >Windows Color and Apperance > Open Classic Appearance Properties >select Windows Aero

Re: Minor problem with Vista.
 

The Open Classic Appearance Properties thing wasn't there.

Re: Minor problem with Vista.

Re: Minor problem with Vista.

also make sure you have the color set to 32bit and not 16 bit. since aero requires 32bit you might have accidentally switched to 16bit and thats why it isnt showing

Re: Minor problem with Vista.
 

I've had Aero since I got it two days ago, I don't know what I did. And its set on 32 bit.

It's not letting me view the thing whocares.

Re: Minor problem with Vista.
 

then i'll see if i can rip the theme from my computer

Re: Minor problem with Vista.
 

I'll never stop loving you.

Re: Minor problem with Vista.
 

You don't download anything to install Aero, especially not from some site that isn't Microsoft...it comes with Home Premium and above...

Did you do the little performance index thingy Vista has? The Windows Experience Index? I think if you score low enough on that it disables Aero.

Try updating your video card's drivers.
