    I have Vista Home Premium, and when I first got my laptop, I remember using windows photo gallery, and in the slideshows, there were controls at the bottom, and I could have fades and stuff for the transitions.
    Well, I just tried a slideshow again, and there were no fancy controls or transitions, just like the xp one...
    Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    duksandfish

    Edit: What the HELL?
    Now I just tried again after just talking on msn for 5 minutes and it had the advanced controls :s

    Now that I think of it, possibly, as I use an emulator (I wont say anymore about it) that needs aero disabled about 5 mins before trying first time, but then aero came back on before I tried....
