Kr0z Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 You're out of luck. Get a PCI Express or AGP (if you must) DX 9 complaint graphics card and you'll get the effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten T Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 actually it would if there were drivers on it since it is DX 9 so wait till the RC's Everybody releses driver then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcmean Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 you can add a DWORD value EnableMachineCheck=0 to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DWM add a key as DWM if you don't have it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWahbinator Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DWM Add another DWORD called ForceSoftwareD3D=1 Then try running uxss or pressing Ctrl-Shift-F9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ev0| Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 You need LDDM drivers first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcmean Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 add another keys in DWM: DWORD Glass - 1 DWORD EnableMachineCheck - 0 DWORD Metal - 0 DWORD UseAlternateButtons - 0 If above keys not working after log off, try below: Browse to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer Here, you will need to add two DWord keys: MILExplorer and MILDesktop, give them both a value of 1 The DWM works on my old Intel GMA (on 865G) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medafor Posted September 24, 2005 Author Share Posted September 24, 2005 i did this and it worked! To make it simpler, simply open Notepad, paste the following and save the file as Sex.regQUOTE Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DWM] "EnableMachineCheck"=dword:00000000 Now double click on Sex.reg, click OK twice, then reboot Windows Vista. This will enable the new effects on older graphic cards or new graphics with no compatible LDDM drivers (such as nVidia cards on build 5219, using this method with Windows XP driver from www.nvidia.com works better than Vista LDDM drivers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AEGA Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Good morning medafor do you have GMA 900 or nvidia, someone working aero glass on gma900 Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEGA Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I found this on a page: By the way minimum hardware for the Glass look will be DirectX 9 graphics cards with three levels Aero Diamond (not seen yet ?)(I just read that Vista MCE has the codename Diamond so I strongly suspect this is the MCE interface) Aero Glass (Normal Vista interface, elements from the beta 2 visible) Aero Express (classic I would say or the lowest UI candy) Classic (old school Windows) The lowest end hardware that will do it is the Intel Extreme Graphics 2 (GMA 900 & 950) so all GeForce FX,6,7 and ATI 95++, Xxxx & Xxxxx will do it plus anything else out there that conforms to SM 2.0 hardware.

Commodore Max Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 It's very unlikely you'll find any drivers for them unless it's from NVIDIA or ATI... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
