Windows 3d flip simply keeps switching from the application window to the 3D stack. Any click causes the applications to stack. Click again and the application reopens. Click anywhere in the sindow and I am back at the stack. How do I turn this off?

I still can find nothing about this setting other than what I have found here. This person hackerdemon looks to have registered just to post his/her knowledge on the subject and seems to take great offense at giving the source of his/her findings. I have not found any information with would disprove what s/he said but I also have found nothing that proves it. In my motherboard manual says
GPU Bank Flip. The Choices: Disabled (default), Enabled..........
Every single Windows Vista presentation and demo I have seen has always included the new Flip 3D, alt+tab replacement. This is a cool feature that really helps you switch between windows when you have a lot open but for some, it can be a choppy experience. If you have a low end graphics card you may experience dropped frames resulting in a choppy animation experience while flipping through your windows. One easy way to make Flip 3D perform much better is to limit the number of windows it draws on your screen.
Follow the steps below to speed up Flip 3D on your computer:
Click on the Start Button, key in regedit and hit Enter....
I have my Vista laptop (HP) hooked up to an external monitor, I have been using the sleep mode at night. The laptop is closed and on a shelf that is very hard to get to. I would like to shut it off at night. I can shut it off with the keyboard. Is there any way possibly software controlled to turn it back on? To reach the power button on the laptop you must first raise the lid which there is not room to do

View 6 Replies View RelatedAfter I installed Windows Vista Service Pack 1, the Flip 3D functionality (Switch Windows on the task bar) is no longer working.
View 5 Replies View RelatedThis has been one of the most demonstrated features of Windows Vista and also one that I have been asked the most about how to use it.
Keep in mind that your computer must support the DWM for this feature to run. If you are running Aero Glass right now, it will work perfectly for you.
Launch Flip 3D:
Just press and hold the Windows Key + Tab. Then use the scroll wheel on your mouse or the up and down keyboard arrows to navigate through the windows. When the window you want is on top, release the Windows and Tab keys.
Would you like to add a shortcut to your desktop or quick launch bar that launches the new Flip 3D tab replacement?
1. Right click on your desktop and select New and then Shortcut.
2. Copy and paste RunDll32 DwmApi #105 into the location box and hit Next....
I am building a new system to get away from Dell. I am using my existing HDD to do the build. Is Vista gonna flip out b/c of the hardware changes, etc? will I need to install it from scratch? if so, is it going to work? or will I have to go buy another copy?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've got a pretty insignificant, but weird bug: the highly hyped, hardly useful 3d flip feature of Vista has just magically disapeared from my comp. Only thing I know I've done was installing the latest x64 security update (KB958644) just before this. The icon is still there, but it just brings up the old school blue box version, and winKey-tab no longer does anything. Anybody heard of an update removing this feature, or know where the mysterious 'flip' files are actually located?
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn windows vista does anyone know how to create a shortcut (desktop or quicklaunch kind) for regular "Windows Flip" also known as "ctrl-alt-tab". Regular windows flip can be used in aero glass with the keyboard shortcut "ctrl-alt-tab", now i want to place a desktop shortcut for it. NOT for the 3D version which shortcut is widely available (DwmApi #105).
I want to have this shortcut for the regular flip, the filmstrip version wich even in aero I find more useful and quite better looking than the 3D flip version. How to creating "desktop shortcuts" from "keyboard shortcuts"
Check out this cool app that is still in development but looks very promising....
View 0 Replies View RelatedRunning Windows Vista Ultimate. Display turns off after about fifteen minutes regardless of whether I am actively using the computer or not. The only way to turn the display back on is to close and then open the lid. This disconnets me from AOL, so I have to sign back on again, and if I was emailing, I might lose my current email. Under Power Options, I have 'Turn off the display' set to Never for both On Battery and Plugged in. Under 'Put the computer to sleep' I have both On battery and Plugged in set to never. Nonetheless, the display still shuts off while I am working. What do I need to do to prevent the display from turning off at odd intervals?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a question about Windows Vista Home Premium [service pack 1] and Windows Flip. When flipping (alt-TAB) thru active applications on Windows Vista, there is a strange icon on the left side that really has no information. When selected all other apps have a descriptive name but when this particular icon/app is selected, there is no descriptive name or information. When this icon is selected nothing happens but when any of the other apps are selected, the appropriate function happens. The icon has a white box and in the lower right corner it has a few small boxes (each a different size) close together. One box it white, the other is orange, the other is red, the other is blue and the last is white with a small vertical line. Does anyone know what this is and why it is there? If it is nothing I need and it is not system critical, how do I remove it? Here is the icon I am talking about. It is on the left hand side. When highlighted it has no name and when selected it does nothing.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIt's clear that most people cannot edit .mp4 files from their Flip Mino-HD camcorders in Movie Maker. I can, on three different computers in my household -- all except for the lone XP system. All of these computers have different applications installed. I thought I had it figured out. When I plug in the Flip, it installs FlipShare automatically. I have plugged the Flip into two of the three Vista systems. When I look at Tools->Options->Compatibility on the systems that have FlipShare installed, I see that there is a DirectShow filter called "PDT IPP Video Decoder" enabled, and it's in one of Pure Technologies' (Flip) directories. If I disable that, in Movie Maker, I can no longer play or edit the .mp4 files from my Flip Mino-HD.
However, on my wife's Vista system, the Flip has never been plugged in, FlipShare hasn't been installed, the above-mentioned filter isn't present, and I can -*still*- load, play, and edit an MP4 file copied from one of my other computers. She hasn't installed any video editors on her system. There is a bare minimum of filters listed as active in Movie Maker...........
I am embarrassed to ask it. Previously I had WindowsXP on my laptop - to turn it off you went to Start, Turn Off Computer. This laptop is using Vista, and I cannot find anything comparable. Last night I turned it off using the off-on button, so got the Windows did not shut off properly message when I turned it on; and I have a "thing" about leaving my computer on overnight. Also, is there a way of hiding all the command bars to "hide" like you can with the taskbar on the bottom?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have an old-school program that creates its directory at a hard-corded directory in C's root (C:xxx). Now, I don't want to run it with administrative privileges, I changed the directory's security permissions to (everyone - full control) and make them inherited to all its sub-directories. The program reads & writes fine with existing files. But the program creates a c file inside its directory and tries to let a C compiler on a network drive compile it. That 92s when the problem comes in. It creates the c file all right, but the c compiler cannot read it (saying =93permission denied=94). If I turn UAC off, I don 92t get errors, but I don 92t want to turn it off.
