How to disable aero peak in Vista?

Hi, I'm running vista on an old computer I (cannot afford the ridiculous price to put Windows 7 on my old systems) and I am trying to disable Aero Peak and I'm unable to find any documentation on how its done. I hope that someone here would be able to give me instructions (to a 6 year old child can understand it please) about how this is possible. Thanks for your help and looking forward to a response.

Technically, Vista has not "Aero Peek".  Glance itself, it's what has been added to Windows 7, where you can view full screen (at a glance) without changing entirely.

Instead, Vista has the taskbar thumbnails, and I guess that's what you're talking about really.

Fortunately, these are easy to change.  Simply right-click in your taskbar, go to properties and uncheck this box.

  • How to disable an installation of Vista.

    I have a retail copy of Vista Ultimate.  I recently updated my computer and a clean installed a copy retail of Windows 7 Professional, then the copy of Vista is more installed on any computer.  I would like to give the copy of Vista to a friend, as well as components for them to use the surplus to upgrade (motherboard, CPU, video card, RAM).  How can I disable my installation so that they use the license?  I've had this copy for a while now, and the last time I had to reinstall I had to call to activate it.  Will they be able to do the same thing?

    Hi, Derigiberble,

    You can transfer the license from one computer to another if it is a retail copy, and it is completely removed from the old pc.  Erase the hard drive.

    The OEM licenses that come pre-installed on your computer are not eligible

  • Disable the UAC in VISTA window

    Hello

    How to disable UAC in Windows Vista using LabVIEW Control window?

    I did this VI (see attached). This VI works, if I have manually disabled the UAC window (regedit: "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System - EnableLUA = 0 [DWORD]) of the control panel or regedit.

    If I run my VI on a computer that has ON UAC, I can't open the registry key. Although, if I manually go to regedit and
    change the variable windows EnableLUA to zero and restart the computer.
    Then, I'll be able to control this LabVIEW registry key.

    Is
    It's kind around to disable UAC only with LabVIEW. This means,
    is it possible to change the EnableLUA variable Windows when I
    previously, I have UAC running?

    Thank you

    Hi JPLO,

    If you run your VI as long as limited or in admin approval mode user, I expect not to be able to disable admin approval mode. Try right-clicking on the LabVIEW icon in the Start Menu and select "run as Administrator" and then run your VI.

  • Satellite P100-434 - Windows Vista - how to get Aero to work

    Hi does anyone know how to get Aero to work on my Tosh laptop. the OS is Vista Home Premium and I have exhausted the help options OS affecting theme Win Vista, color scheme to Aero etc.

    Hello

    The laptop should be certainly be able to use the AERO.
    It supports a 256 MB card and 2 GB memory graphics.

    So it seems you only need to activate the Aero on your Vista.
    But which version of Vista is installed on the laptop.
    As I know the basic home edition version does not include the Aero. The Aero is available on the Home Premium edition or newer

    So now you ask what you can do? I found these tips on the site of Ms.
    Check if the desktop theme has been set to Windows Vista

    1. open theme settings by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, customization and then clicking theme.
    2. in the theme list, click Windows Vista, and then click OK.

    Try to enable transparency widowed intercadres.
    But note; to enable transparency, the color scheme must first be set to Windows Aero.
    1. open Personalization by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel configuration, on appearance and personalization, and then click customization.
    2. click on the appearance and color of the window.
    3. Select the transparency check box.

  • Could not access Console in Fallout 3 in Windows Vista... How to disable MIRC?

    I bought the game Fallout 3 a few weeks ago and has recently wanted to access the game console command line, but the game does not recognize the support of the tilde (~) key.  I spent many hours trying to figure out why this is the case, and I got three main answers:

    1. change the size of the screen that you can 'see' the console command line.  The size of my screen was already the right size, and it has not resolved the question of 'recognition of tilde.

    2. find Fallout Notepad, locate the line AllowConsole = x (where x represents a number any) and change x 1.  I found the notebook and the line, but the value was already "AllowConsole = 1".  I changed the number 0 and then back to 1, to see if that would be 'reset', but still no use of the tilde in the game key.

    3 turn off the infrared remote Microsoft (MIRC) in the eHome folder.  It is the recommendation given to me by the works of Bethesda, the company that produced of Fallout 3.  However, when I asked what particular file searching (there nothing specifically named "infrared" whatever it is, nor do any application with a name sounding similar open when I clicked it), I was given the same two paragraphs already listed on the site Web of Bethesda, if there is no progress.

    My question is this; How find/disable the MIRC involved with the Windows Media Center/eHome?  OR... there at - it another method to allow recognition of the tilde key (~) so that in games like Fallout 3?  Because he was such a topic posted on other forums by users of Vista (on laptops, for the most part), I hope there are a few out there who have faced this problem before, and have a solution.  I run with a laptop Asus M51 series with Windows Vista, if that helps at all.  Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello YoungSolshee,

    In addition to what Jack said, when you press the tilde key, you hold the SHIFT key also.  Most of the time that the cheat console will not work unless you enter in the ~ symbol and not only hit / press.

    Please let us know how it works for you. Zack

  • How to disable the drop-in by a "standard user" in Windows Vista

    I use Windows Vista and I have a standard user account. The Welcome Center appears each time I have windows to connect.  I uncheck the box in the lower left corner in the visitor centre, but it does not work.  He always keeps showing upwards. Also, I try to use regedit to remove the entry in the race, but surprisingly I was not allowed to delete the entry because I'm a standard user. So please tell me how to disable the reception centre for a standard user.

    Thank you very much.
    Jacky

    Hello Jackyhn,

    You can make a registry change using the following key:

    Method 1: Go to the Windows Vista registry editor

    To disable Windows Vista Welcome Center with editing the registry:

    • Type regedit in Windows Vista start menu search box.
    • Highlight:
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion, Run.
    • Right-click on the WindowsWelcomeCenter key and select Delete.
      Reboot your system.

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

    If please reply back and let us know if this suggestion has helped.
