    Aero Peek is not working on my Sony Vaio YB.

    It use to work before.

    Problem: It is CHECKED, but the option is GREY OUT

    1. I have Experience Index of 3 and above
    2. Try to create another Admin account, but its still the same
    3. Go into Performance Options and make sure "Save taskbar thumbnail previews" is checked. - I dont see this!

    4. What else should I have check

    This is very strange.

    Try the below steps and check if this helps.

    1. Click on start button, type devmgmt.msc and press enter.
    2. Now in the device manager expand Display adapters, under this you should be able to see Mirror Driver.
    3. Right-click on it and select properties.
    4. In the properties window, under Driver tab, click on Uninstall button.
    5. After the uninstalling the drivers restart the computer. This should automatically install proper drivers for it.

    Mirror Driver are mostly used by vpn (Virtual private network)/remote desktop tools/Windows Live Mesh. Removing this driver may resolve such issues.

    I got it fix. It was the LogMein Mirror Driver from above. I uninstall it and now my AERO is working on my YB.

    I got no problem on my desktop and I do have the LogMein Mirror Drive.

    SO WHATS SHAFT ???
