OK, well I heard someone say once, that TaskSwitch takes on the appearance of the Start menu. It turns out my Start menu is the same. It's not showing any icons (Besides programs that are pinned as well as the items on the Recently Used Program list on the left), and it doesn't show my user name at the top. In fact, for that matter, it doesn't show anything except a little black TV screen. Obsoive! ("observe" with a quirky, Mafia-esque accent to it)



Is there any way to fix it?

Did you try to install TaskSwitch on Windows Vista? If so, you don't need it. It is designed for Windows XP. However if you installed in on Windows XP, try opening 3 or more windows and pressing Alt+Tab.

I installed it on Windows XP. have opened 3 or more windows, and it looks exactly what it look like in the screenshot I posted earlier in page 1. It has pictures of the windows, but no icons.

Ok i got the program and am using right now. I just can get it to stay up. I have to hold alt and tab for it to work.
And then it switches programs rapidly. How do I get it to stay?

Hi all,

I recently installed the Vista Task-Switching Power Toy and I want to get rid of it!!

When I alt-tab, I can see the preview of the window fine. Sweet.

Oh wait; a fat lot of good that does if it won't show me any icons!!

This is what my alt-tab looks like:



No icons.

Is this the normal Task Switcher for Vista?
If yes, then they made a big mistake and I want to revert back to the XP version.
If no, how can I fix it? What do I need to install/uninstall?


No, this is the proper way Windows Vista does its alt-tab:


If you use Aero's Task Switcher (WIN+TAB), it should look something like this:

I rather have the Aero interface than this PowerToy.

Well, that is REALLY stupid!!! I would much rather give up the thumbnails than the icons!

Yet ANOTHER reason to not go and buy Vista...

Well, it's really your choice. I like it so I don't mind it.
