Aero Shake problems??

[drewpul]

I've been using Win 7 since January, but rarely use the Aero shake feature. In TV commercials they make it look so easy. It takes me about 25 shakes until I can get the windows to disappear.:shock:

Is there a trick to get it to work.:sarc: When you move it side to side, how far do you need to jerk the window?

Thanks

Hardly has to be shaken at all, maybe a few cms across the screen but the important thing is to shake atleast 3 times. e.g. Left, Right, Left or Right, Left Right. Can also be done vertically.

Thanks, it working better now, but I dont really understand why anyone would use it.

supposedly meant to help people focus on a single task by minimizing all other things. but if you have gadgets on your desktop i dont see how its helping you focus

It would have been a lot more useful if you could instigate the shake anywhere in a window, instead of just the title bar.

I rarely use it so I tend to forget it's there.

Works better with an external mouse too.

Yeah, aero shake is my least favorite Windows 7 feature. I use Aero peek and Aero snap a lot...but Aero shake is usually just used when I demo the features of Windows 7 for somebody....i don't use it in practice.
