    Hi,
    I have a 1420 with Nvidia 8400 graphics card and Vista installed. I can't find Nview or a way to turn on the feature "Transparent while dragging" for an open window. Does anybody know how to do this within Vista?
    Thanks!

    Right click "Computer" and select "properties". Then click "advanced system settings" on the left. On the "advanced" tab, select "settings" under "performance". You will see a list of checked/uncheck items, find "Show window contents while dragging" and uncheck it.

    Thanks for the reply - do you know if Nview is available for for the 8400 when using Vista. I've reloaded the Nvidia drivers to see if I accidently erased Nview, but still can't find it.
