This is known as 'flip 3D' - to get it press the Windows key + tab. If you
do not have a Windows key: alt + ctrl + tab.

do you have areoglass set in themes >?< other then eye candy what is 3D
flip any good for ?
 
Actually, alt + ctrl + tab is not an alternative to Windows key + tab. for
'Flip 3D'. You may still have glass. I do not know what the non-Windows key
version is, does anyone?.

Using it to move quickly between programs is an individual preference. Just
like some people prefer to do things with keyboard shortcuts and some prefer
the mouse.
 
It's very handy when you have a lot of windows open. You can easily flip
through them to bring the one you want to the front, to the front.

Given the fact that keyboards are as cheap as chips, get a new Windows
keyboard. Then you can really test it.

I could have sworn alt + ctrl + tab worked for flip 3d. Maybe I was hitting
windowsKey + ctrl + tab, because that works, though is one more key than
necessary.
 
Windows Key + Ctrl + Tab brings up Flip 3D and keeps it there until you select a
window that you want to view, so that was likely the combo.
 
Ah, yes that's what it was. I guess after the novelty wore off, I forgot all
about that.
I was wanting to use my mouse scroll wheel without having to keep holding
the keys down.

Not really practical with a laptop unless you're actually at your desk...
 
I quite agree but nothing was said in the original post about it being a
laptop. Also, most, if not all, laptops from within the last 5 years or more
have Windows keys (sometimes called the 'Start key'). This whole issue was
raised because it seemed that the original poster did not have a Windows
key.

If you have a Windows key it is easy to get Flip 3D: Windows key + tab

Sorry I should have been clearer. It is a laptop, it does have a windows key
but that key and tab does nothing.
 
What about other operations with the Windows key? For example, does Windows
key + E open Explorer? If not, the Windows key is broken.

If it does then it looks like you do not have Aero/glass. To get that, you
must have a graphics card that supports the new Windows Display Driver Model
WDDM.

I believe Glass is needed for Flip-3D and I doubt that a 5 year old machine
will run Glass.
 
We have acertained that it is a laptop but we do not know how old it is. It
could be new.

Its 3 months old but the graphics card is not quite good enough. I needed
the next model up.
