    Something weird is going on when I maximize Internet Explorer. When it's maximized (a long with pretty much any other window), it loses it's transparency at the top and the taskbar does also. Anyone experiencing this? :confused:

    yea its supposed to. I dunno which one looks better but i really dont mind, i think it also relieves a bit of stress off the graphics card.

    Yeah, it's feature of vista. I personally think it looks awful and there should be an option to turn it on and off.

    Yeah, I don't like that feature either, the maximize thing. It does that on my 9201ca as well.

    Anyone know what happened to that Nvidia feature that used to be able to let you drag windows and turn them transparent? Is it still available in some fashion?
