I assume that you are running XP.

You can try the free desktop manager from Microsoft - Its small and does not have many features, but takes very little memory and does what I need:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... ySetup.exe
Now: T60 2613-EKU | T23 2647-9NU | 600X 2645-9FU | HP 100LX
Past: X31 2673-Y13 | T41 2374-3HU | T22 2647-AEU

Rules of the road :thumbs-UP:

i tried that, but it wasn't smooth enough for me.
then i tried the ATI one, which i didn't like because of bad hotkey controls and the fact that you can't view all of your desktops at once.

i'm using yod'm 3d now, and i like it so far.
