Arrow When I move windows I get an outline.
This is kind of hard to explain (which explains the crappy thread title) but, when I move one of my open windows on vista, they no longer move as I move them.
Instead I see a transparent outline of where the window will be moved to when I take my finger off the mouse.
Its not really a big problem, but I would rather the windows still be visible whilst im moving them.

Thanks.
