Hi all, I'm kinda of new to Vista, does anyone know how to get those cool effects in Windows Vista, like when you drag a window it ripples or looks like jello, I'm hope you guys understand. I have Aero enabled, but I still can't get these cool effects to work.

When John Wilkinson sees your post I feel confident he will have the answer.
Sorry I am unable to help but am using that feature which was already set on my system. I too like it.

I like it too, i'm curious who this john wilkinson is, thanks anyway though, i can't find anything online.
If I were you I wouldn't listen to a word he says. 
Anyhow, such a visual effect is not actually a standard part of Vista. There are shadows, fades, and stretches, but when you drag a window around it should be smooth with the only visual effect being the pattern in the transparent boarders 'moving.' Thus, I suspect that the effect you saw was either a glitch caused by an outdated graphics card or, more likely, a third-party application the person installed to add new visual effects.
