How to view ' flip ' in vista?

Question

I lookes for this in FAQ but couldn't find. How do you get the "flip" view in Vista Home Premium?

I have Aero enabled but haven't figured out how to see all open folders open and lined up on monitor screen when several folders are open. I'm sure this is an easy one.

Beta versions for vista seem to be working fine. You can always roll back the driver if necessary. An easier trick to use 3D Flip--use the 'Switch between Windows' icon on the Quick Launch bar. I didn't know that was there until someone posted it.

How do you configure for aero glass? I have geforce 7900s card and I think I have just a basic driver

because new driver is available on nvidia website but it is the beta version so I think I'll wait a little bit.

But is it easy to configure aero glass view? maybe I can now? JC

Understanding Windows Vista Aero Glass Requirements

The Windows Vista Aero Glass interface is one of the major changes in the newest version of windows. What is less clear for most people is what conditions have to be met for Aero to be enabled. If you are sure your system meets the requirements but it’s still not enabled, Here’s a list of conditions.

Your graphics card should support DirectX 9. Most decent cards already do.
The graphics card must support Pixel Shader 2.0 in hardware. This is the critical piece that you will have to check with your graphics card manufacturer. If you have a newer ATI or NVIDIA card, you should be good.
The driver must be written specifically for Windows Vista. You’ll be able to see that your graphics card driver is a Windows Vista Display Driver Model (WDDM) driver by looking at the adapter type in device manager:

The system must be set to 32 bits per pixel. If you are running at a different color depth, this could be the reason why your system doesn’t have Aero enabled.

The primary monitor refresh rate must be set to at least 10hz. Why you’d have it set to less, I have no clue.
You must have a graphics card with at least 64MB of RAM in it, although I’d suggest a card with more memory. If you have a lower memory graphics card, you may have to decrease the resolution to enable Aero.
Your system must have at least 512mb of available RAM. I’d suggest using at least 1GB of RAM in your computer, and preferably even more.
Aero will not work on Windows Vista Basic edition. For best results, get the Ultimate version.

If you meet all of the conditions and Aero still isn’t enabled, you can manually enable Aero by right-clicking on the desktop, clicking Personalize, and clicking Window Color and Appearance.

You should see Windows Aero in the list. Click that, and hopefully Aero will now be enabled.

hi   i dont get the aero 3d windows thing , because if you click on it to enable it comes up but then if you select a window it opens it but then if you come out of that its back to normal and you then have to keep clicking enable aero all the time??

I downloaded nvidia's latest driver and it works well. The latest version is dated Jan. 31, 2007. I did have all the settings already correct but the trick was the 'switch window view' button on the quick launch area of taskbar ( left side middle button). that is what gave me the windows all lined up on desktop view.  Thanks for all responses     JC
