Alt Tab Confusion

Hi

Basically i got a new laptop for christmas with Vista Home Basic on it
When i use the alt tab to switch through things i have open i get
boring little box thats alot like the xp version. I dont have the optio
to turn on aero im not asking for flip3d i just basically want th
thumbnails. If this is impossible does anyone know of a downloadabl
add-on type thhing that work well and in the same way
