Lenin91 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Theres a reason for aero aint enabled on your graphic card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian M. Veteran Posted October 16, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 16, 2006 Exactly. We've heard this so many times now. If your card isnt supported, then live with it. If you want aero, upgrade your card. As said, there IS a reason its unsupported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr White Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 For all those who can`t get Aero working with build 5744 1/ Ensure that you have the following registry value set to : HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\Composition set to 1 (32-bit DWORD) HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\CompositionPolicy set to 2 (32-bit DWORD) 2/ Restart DWM by opening a command prompt with administrative privileges : - Type 'net stop uxsms' - Then 'net start uxsms' Source: http://www.thehotfix.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=5693 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harsh86 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Thanx, the hack works great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oat_con88 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 it s AMAZING!!! AWESOME Registry Hack :D:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambroos Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 How are the results on non-DX9 systems (i have Riva TNT2 and i would be VERY surprised if aero works on that old rubbish!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeiesfirdaus Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 thanks for the registy hack .. but will non VISTA compatible graphic cards ( less than pixel shader 2.0 ) be able to force sero using this hack ? has any one been able to do that using this hack ?

Brian M. Veteran Posted October 25, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 25, 2006 All im saying is that there's a reason your card's not supported. If your card doesnt support pixel shader 2.0, then how do you expect it to cope with the graphics? not very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeS2k Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 But, I heard Aero will not run on machines with less than 1GB of RAM. I have a 6600 GT which should be capable of Aero, but only 512MB of RAM. so will this tweak enable Aero, and also will it run acceptably? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmz Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I have 512mb of RAM and Aero was enabled by default and it runs fine, I didn't need a hack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dotdot Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Had a 9600XT with 1GB of RAM Aero my arse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cai_sebas Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 How do you open a command prompt with administrative privileges? When I just open CMD and enter 'net stop/start uxsms' I get an System error 5, Access is denied. Anyone know what to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~D~ Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 ^ C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CMD.exe rightclick Run As Admin... Btw this "hack" doesn't work with my SIS 661 crap anybody got some driver simulating tweak thingys? And please don't think/say things like (there's a "reason" your card blablabla). I know it will slow down my laptop but I just want to see the glass fx on my 15.4TFT WXGA Crystal Brite screen! And yes it is possible because it worked a few beta's ago.

cai_sebas Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Didn't work either. Aargh want some decent drivers! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menge Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 meh.. i really hoped this'd allow SOME eye candy on my SiS M760GX card... but this card is REALLY crap, or so it seems :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elektro Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 can anyone verify if this works with the Intel GMA 915? It has Pixel Shader 2.0, just no WDDM drivers. If it works, I'll be buying Vista and adding a gig of ram to my computer. If not, I'm skipping the Vista upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
