superaymond Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Well, i got a laptop which came with a window vista business.. there were some bugs.. so i reinstalled it with the think vantage features.. (imb thinkpad laptop).. it basically turned the whole laptop back to factory state.. it reinstalled vista.. However, certain features were gone. For example, there were no thumbnail previews and i can't turn it on cause its disabled somehow. http://img469.imageshack.us/my.php?imag ... iewlr5.jpg also.. when you press the (window sign)+Tab, you get an alternative way of viewing the programs you open right now, thats gone too. The Lenovo did not send a vista cd to me. So i can't add on certain features that weren't installed after i formated my comp. Anyone help?

Collective Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I'm not on Vista right now, but the 3D task switching is only available if you're running the Aero theme. I'm not sure about the Preview setting, but I believe that's the same. http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/vi ... indows.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClareJonsson Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 It sounds like the Aero theme is turned off, Aero is usually turned off if the windows experience rating is low, or you haven't yet rated the experience index. To turn Aero back on do the following: 1. Right click My Computer and select Properties. 2. Click Windows Experience Index. 3. Click Update my score. If this doesn't solve it, make sure all drivers such as video are installed, and update the Windows Experience rating again. As a small note, if anyone has Vista and they change hardware or update any drivers, they should always update the Windows Experience Index.

Collective Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Have you made sure to enable the Aero theme as I suggested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClareJonsson Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 LOL that's typical of a Vista forum, lots of people there but not many with an ounce of knowledge. I bet if you posted something like "I think vista sucks" that thread would be 10 pages long by now :lol: [Assist-X] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
