Cascading Windows?

On all the advertisements for Vista, they show the windows cascading across
the screen.
I have the Home Premium Vista and my windows don't do that. When I click the
button with the windows on the toolbar, a regular screen comes up where I can
change windows...the same thing it did in the older versions.
Is there something wrong with my Vista, is there a setting I need to change
to make it work?

Do you have Aero enabled?

Is your graphics card and system Aero capable?

Use Help and Support for instructions/information regarding Aero.

I forget the keystroke, but isn't something like Alt-Tab to get it
to work?

Hi Marty

When you had Flip 3D activated, did you press Enter or click on th
window to select it for it to close Flip 3D and show you that window?

hi ....i know what you mean (when you have multiple windows open you can use
flip 3d and press windows and tab and they will SCROLL through the windows
untill you reach the one you want ..realy cool feature)you dont even need
flip 3d on to do this but once when i did this i caught another key and the
windows started cascading instead of scrolling ..hasn't happened since
