• Aero peek doesn't work do not

  Aero peek doesn't work! When I put my mouse on the taskbar at the bottom of my computer, it shows just the words and not the smaller window icon. When I go to the properties of the taskbar, it is gray and I can't enable or disable it. I read some of the other issues people here and I didn't know that Office 2007 can be part of the problem. I have Office 2010 could this be the problem? This air look was one of the features that Windows boasted of and now it does not work? I'm not happy about it and nobody seems to have a solution for it! Why not??? I want answers please.

• HP Pavilion 15n - upgrade issues lower windows 7 (FN, aero peek and sleep keys)

  Hello

  I recently bought a HP Pavilion 15 (n097), which is pre-installed with windows 8... naturally I went down to Windows 7 and installed as a good number of pilots required system I could get my hands - everything seems to have worked pretty well, the only problem now is that:

  (1) I have no option "sleep" in the start menu, it is grayed out (only to stop, restart and hibernate are available)

  (2) making the skimming between surprisingly heavy programs is not supported by aero peek

  (3) none of the function buttons work

  I would be VERY grateful if anyone knew where I might be able to install the necessary drivers so that I can fix these problems were.

  Thanks in advance.

  You are the very welcome.

  Sorry the quick launch of the software did not work.  Unfortunately, I won't be able to provide additional assistance to this issue because I don't know any other software that you can use for this purpose.

  Here is the link for the graphics drivers that you need.

  Any ideas?  Its very frustrating...

  Hello

  My first thought is there is a pilot number use this troubleshooting. At the end are methods to check if something interferes with Aero - look if necessary after the use of other methods. Check with the support of the Maker (manufacturer of motherboard for customized systems) system, online documentation and drivers, diagnostics and ask in their forums about known issues (those who are for embedded charts).

  Also check the same resources for video device manufacturer, and if a there is a separate card, such as ATI, Nvidia, ASUS and other OEMs.

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common. Control Panel device - graphics card configuration-manager - note the brand and complete model of your graphics driver - double-click - tab - write version information. Now, click the driver update (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers you have.

  Now go to the website of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration), then site of the manufacturer of the device (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Review of the BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system while there).

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• Aero Peek doesn't work now does not

  Here's all the sordid details.  Mobile workstation HP 8760w with Nvidia Quadro 3000 M GPU, 8 GB of RAM, Windows 7 64-bit, 128 GB SSD,... etc. 18 months of use, has been remarkable.  Last week, Aero Peek suddenly stopped working. I tried all sorts of things, including the following, without result;

  (1) restoration of the system of at least three different times, earlier (no updates were applied before failing Aero).

  (2) deleted the cache of WIndows Experience Index and re-reun coast at least a dozen times (it must be deleted or it crashes) (result of-7, 1-7.5)

  (3) personalization troubleshooting Aero reports without errors or questions.

  (4) Microsoft FIxIt Aero Troubleshooter says my video can't run Aero (though again, it has 18 months).

  (5) deleted, updated, modified, deleted, updated, changed... For the Quadro 3000 M NVIDIA drivers (even to aid version of HP on their Web site).

  (6) update of the BIOS and other firmware/drivers from HP on this laptop.

  7) opened a case with Nvidia (still in the wait - they ask me if I have uninstalled and reinstalled it, even though I told them that I have 10 times).

  (8) tried to run without Nvidia software installed at all.

  (9) checked for EnableAeroPeek registry entry by many other suggestions and articles. Even some added and then removed the other.

  (10) created a new Admin profile locally on the laptop.

  (11) run a SFCScan and it came back fine.

  Aero options do not appear in the Visual effects and the opton use Aero Peek in the properties of the Start Menu is grayed out.  It sent me down a lot, a lot of articles.  No resolution.  Everyone has been through this pain?

  I'll put my SSD in another laptop as she (we bought 4 of them at the same time) to see if it's related material... but nothing else that seems the Aero affected, so I'm skeptical, it's going to do anything.  I'm just * hope * Miss me something.

  If you have updated your Windows then uninstall the update of platform for Windows 7 (KB2670838) and your problem should be solved.

  Before I updated my Windows this month I just checked if Microsoft still offer this update. This is in the optional list. I installed so I thought to manually upgrade to IE10 because he wasn't in the IE9 update list. So I did manually and after that check updates again and to my surprise this update has disappeared completely. I have an old PC as well, and after installing all the updates I still have no problems so far. I recommend that you upgrade to IE10 after uninstalling this update (if you updated with that and faced the problem) to get rid of the update forever. But do it at your own risk, because I never updated my machine with this defective update and see if that caused any problems with my machine.

• The Aero Peek feature does not work on my computer that I've recently upgraded to the version of Win 7 Home Premium 32 bit.

  After you have installed Windows 7 Home premium, I noticed that the aero peek feature does not systematically after a fresh reboot upward. Sometimes when I turn on my computer the aero peek feature turns on immediately and works well. On other occasions when I turn it on it just does not come to the top. I had the box customize and found the checked enable aero peek. Still aero peek doesn't work. So to summarize if aero peek turns on it works fine. However, it does not illuminate whenever I boot my machine eventhough that the box is checked. Please notify.

  Try this: launch REGEDIT, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER and make sure that EnableAeroPeek is set to 1, rather than 0.
  It can help.

• "Aero Peek" selects windows on top, but after a second selected window is coming back, behind other windows. __

  When I use Aero Peek and select 1 window to bring it over the top, he goes there, but after a second, he goes back and hides. Sometimes it is on top a little longer, sometimes it's on the top of page continuous, but especially it goes back bihind other windows. If, during the selection, I press the right button of pouts and use 'move' for selected window-, it helps. This problem mostly appears when I try to select the window which is not maximasied, while the other window/s are maximased.

  I use Windows 7 proffessional with 2 monitors.

• Windows 7 - Aero Peek window previews flicker when displayed not allowing not the window selection.

  When I move my mouse over one of the icons in the taskbar much of the time it will not display the Aero peek for windows previews. When he does it usually blinks for a few seconds then does not appear. The odd time, keep it visible it will allow me to get an overview of the windows by bringing to the forefront through one of miniature windows flying over my mouse but when I click to select a window it goes back to what I was on earlier. In the case of multiple windows of the same type, for example to say Firefox and download manager in firefox by clicking on the firefox icon in the taskbar is nothing, until I navigate to and close one of the two windows manually. It became a major problem with my daily use of my computer so much so, in fact, that I returned to the use of Linux Mint during the bulk of my computer daily as it does not take me an excessive amount of time to navigate between windows. If anyone has suggestions as to how this can be fixed it would be much apreciated and would allow me to start using Windows 7 even more.

  I tried to run the troubleshooter several times with no results yet. The driver is up to date and working properly, I tried unintsalling, restart and reinstall the driver 64-bit Windows 7, with no change in the problem. I can try a reinstall of Windows 7 because it won't cause a lot of data loss with separate OS and partitions of data.

• Windows 7 - Aero Peek doesn't work

  Hello!

  Well, it looks like Aero peek working at all. It is activated in the task bar, and in the task 'Visual effects', everything is selected. I am also unable to flip flop.

  I use Windows vista edition Home premium that I just bought.
  Any advice?

  Hello Nico884,

  With all the steps that have been taken to solve the problem, it is rather likely, not a setting, but a corrupt user profile. You will not lose any software that you have installed by using a new user profile. You can easily transfer your data to the new profile so, take a look at the difficulty of a user profile is corrupted.

• Aero Peek, Aero preview thumbnails do not disappear

  Titles are always difficult, especially in this case.

  The icons on the taskbar - when I hover over them, they pop up displaying the list of windows related to this icon.

  

  Well, after that installation of Windows since long several updates, the list of "pop-up" doesn't go away when I stop hovering over him.

  It's driving me crazy. I need actually to click on something in the list that appears before he goes. If I accidentally go over it while moving the cursor, then he overcome everything that I do until I get out of my way to select an item in the list. The list does not disappear when I click on a window, when I click on an item in the list.

  To look into this further, I think that this only happens when I have enough windows open, but it could be that some windows that cause it to happen. I use these programs for a long time however, and they have never caused-for most things like Sublime text and Visual Studio 2013 Communityand a game or two. I'm sure this is a result of the update of Windows.

  George,

  The term you want, it's Aero Peek [people often refer to it as Aero Preview as well].

  I think that you will have more good users write down your question if you are using the question title - Aero Peek, Aero preview thumbnails do not disappear [just click on the link change under your question and it allows you to change the title].

  Additional: You mentioned the updates, I think you should check for any updates for your display driver, as it seems a likely candidate for such a problem of display.
