  • More than 1 file open Excel, Aero Peek will show not miniature, only circles

    Since the critical update from Microsoft last week (26/02/13), when I have more than one file opened in Excel, all I get in the vignettes are circles.  I restored in time before the update and the Aero Peek normally carried out with more than one Excel file is open.  The feature works with more open file in Word, MapPoint and Outlook (all open at the same time).  If there is only a single Excel file open, the Aero Peek thumbnail runs as it should.  The file names appear again, but only spinning circles on the tile.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    I've tried hard restart my iPhone (Home + Power button) without success. Any help is very appreciated! Thank you.

    Hey there, Stephen Bond,.

    Thank you for using communities of support from Apple! I see from your post that your iPhone more 6s on iOS 10.0.2 does not work as expected because the cancellation of noise from phone toggle is grayed out. I'll be happy to help you.

    First check to see if the hearing aid Mode is enabled in settings > general > accessibility > hearing aids. If this option is enabled, then telephone noise cancelling will be grayed out as you describe. If this isn't the case and that the option is grayed out, please continue.

  • Notes 'float on top' is always grayed out.

    Hello

    I used to be able to put a note on a separate window and then "float on top. However, since updating to OS X El Capitan 10.11.6, it has always been grayed out. Even on the full notes window, I can't make it float on top.

    Is this a bug? Is it just my macbook? Or is there a way I can get 'float' on top working again?

    Thank you.

    Patricia.

    Hi patsoup!

    I understand that you have a question about the feature 'float on top' of the Notes app, and I'm happy to help you. How the works seems to have changed.  Now, rather than tearing off a note to display it in a separate window, you can double-click the note entry in the list to the left of the application Notes. Once a note in its own separate window, the menu item 'Float on top' becomes accessible.

    Follow these steps to turn on location services in Mountain Lion OS X or later

    1. Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu.
    2. Click the Privacy & Security icon in the System Preferences window.
    3. Click the Privacy tab.
