Ah, yes that's what it was. I guess after the novelty wore off, I forgot all
about that.
I was wanting to use my mouse scroll wheel without having to keep holding
the keys down.

Not really practical with a laptop unless you're actually at your desk...

I quite agree but nothing was said in the original post about it being a
laptop. Also, most, if not all, laptops from within the last 5 years or more
have Windows keys (sometimes called the 'Start key'). This whole issue was
raised because it seemed that the original poster did not have a Windows
key.

If you have a Windows key it is easy to get Flip 3D: Windows key + tab

Sorry I should have been clearer. It is a laptop, it does have a windows key
but that key and tab does nothing.

What about other operations with the Windows key? For example, does Windows
key + E open Explorer? If not, the Windows key is broken.

If it does then it looks like you do not have Aero/glass. To get that, you
must have a graphics card that supports the new Windows Display Driver Model
WDDM.

I believe Glass is needed for Flip-3D and I doubt that a 5 year old machine
will run Glass.

Glass is indeed required for flip3D.

We have acertained that it is a laptop but we do not know how old it is. It
could be new.

Its 3 months old but the graphics card is not quite good enough. I needed
the next model up.
