My video card died, and I had to use an old card with very limited memory.
The emergency card did not support Aero.

I installed a new ATI card with 512 MB onboard memory (a Radeon HD2600Pro
AGP 8X card) which supports Vista.

I got the Aero scheme back - transparency, etc., but the icons on the quick
launch bar for 3D viewing of open windows or desktop are gone.

Is there a way to get them back?

Aero requires that your video card have 1GB of memory. Only the early Betas
of Vista supported Aero with only with 512 MB of memory.

If you are not seeing the Flip3D icon it may be there but there may not be
enough real estate to show it. Right click the Taskbar and unlock it. A
vertical dotted line should show indicating the right border of the QL bar.
Drag the dotted line to the right to see if more icons show up.
