Hello and thanks for your input.

I have seen screenshots of the wonderful desktop of Vista and WIndows 7. Now that I have Win7 64 bit installed I do say I am impressed but...

The impressive Tilted windows seen at a 3/4 view cascade, and doing this neat circle carousel thing, does not appear on my machine or else I don't know what I'm doing. Aero, the theme itself. shows in all of it's glassy glory.

can you tell me where to enable this and other nifty effects?

I have a dual core Intel (e6600)
Nvidia 8800 Pro with 512 of Ram
4 gigs of ram
500+gigs of drive space

Thanks.

You probably have to have the OS calculate your WEI.

If you want the Windows Switcher/Flip3D shortcut, you can get it here...

And also you can scroll thru them with YupYup's suggestion.

Have a look thru all the tutorials for other tips and effects you can enable. ;)

I am afraid that "neat circle carousel thing" was never a real Windows 7 feature but a third party add on.
