My Windows Vista cant view tranperanly n the latest tweak vista cant open with this build of windows...
pls help me

To force transparency do the following:

1. Click Start, Run.
2. Type "regedit" (without the quotes).
3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft
4. Create a key called DWM.
5. Inside of that key, create a new DWORD value called EnableMachineCheck, and set it to 0
6. Create another DWORD called Blur, and set that to 0
7. Create another DWORD called Animations and set that to 0.

If you force this glass will most probably run slow since your graphics card isn't fully supported. If it runs fine then you might want to add blur effects and animations. Just set your Blur DWORD to 1 and your animations DWORD to 1.

Hope this helps.

is still the same...the registry can enable Aero Glass in 5270...i try to install .NET framework but vista cant statup .NET service...

u guys no need to find any patch... i dy know the way to enable DWM in 5270
old registry:
HKEY_local_machine/Software/Microsoft/DWM
-Animations (dword) (1)
-AnimationsShiftKey (dword) (1)
-Blur (dword) (1)
-Glass (dword) (1)
-UseAlternateButtons (dword) (1)
-CheckMachine (dword) (0)

New registry key:
HKEY_current_user/Software/Microsoft/DWM
-Animations (dword) (1)
-AnimationsShiftKey (dword) (1)
-Blur (dword) (1)
-Glass (dword) (1)
-UseAlternateButtons (dword) (1)
-UseMachineCheck (dword) (0)

after add in those key...jus restart n u will DWM...
pls take note tat CheckMachineTime changed to UseMachineCheck

CHRIST does this forum need a spell checker...

Firstly, You shouldn't even be using it if your not an official tester. I could even barely understand what you posted. Also, there is a reason why your card isnt spitting out glass, its probably not a DirectX 9 native video card, and its probably a crappy 32MB onboard..

ROFL

sry...i know my english not so good...n im from other country...
im vista beta tester...my card could not enable glass bcoz im using non LDDM graphics card...not DirectX 9 ok? n im using 128MB ATI 9200SE...not onboard 32MB

if u don like tis thread...u can jus keep silent...don try to post something else at here

hm, sorry about that then, you might be able to get glass using those reg hacks, might not be pretty, but its worth a try.

Anyone find the hack for this.

I am running a Intel® 82845G Graphics Controller.

I had an earlier build of vista and through the register I got the glass to work. Does anyone know the new hack for build 5270?

What would happen if u tried this on Windows XP?

You may have struck gold on that one! I just tried it on my XP SP2 box and I got the vista glass effects!!! Thanks for the info!

Doesn't work for me
Do you have to use royale?

LOL.. something tells e your pic is fake krun..

Oh lol, and heres me trying to get it working

Is he lying or not?

wow from your posts, you seem like a really nice and friendly person.

if this person is or is not an offical tester, why the hell do you care?

usually when i do not understand something, i move on, not make nasty comments.

Perhaps a grammar checker as well.

'Isnt' isn't a word. 'Its' is a possesive form of it. I'm sure you meant it's - the contraction of it is. You should change the order of the words 'even' and 'barely' for better clarity.

Sorry, just trying to use the same measure.

Yes, yes! You have to use Royale and stand on your head while your left hand is in your right pocket and at the same time slowly say "haaaammmmaaaa-voodoo-tesssooorrr-iiiii-aaaaaammmmm-veeerrryyy-iiiigggnnnorrannntttt" and it will work!

Is it possible to get it working on XP - if not - how did he get that effect (I doubt it has been altered)

Chuck Norris hates noobs who can't spell!

Can we not talk about spelling and answer my question 'Can it be done'?.

No it can't be done on XP. Transparency can be done, with a few third party programs that can do it, but not glass (unless WB has it, I'm not sure...)

The taskbar can be made transparent with transbar.
And the whole windows can be made transparent - but not just the titlebar.

WB5 does just the toolbar. If you convert a .msstyle of the theme you want to a wb theme, you could probably mod it and make it the perfect tranmsparent. Plus, there's hardly a noticable speed difference. You can even put the window over a visualizer in iTunes and it won't slow down, it's quite fun.

1. I work at a company and I am in control of an msdn/ Gold partner licence. I am allowed to use and have activated my windows vista 5270.

2. I got a dell 700m with onboard graphics... I have applied the tweak and all is well except the games. I am guessing the hardware check disables the scaning of the hardware totally, because when i go to run a game, it says i need to have at least 16m colors to play. There is no right click option to play with these settings.

Does anyone know how to circumvent this issue. I like glass and want to play spider solitare!

is there a registry switch that forces 32bit graphics?

My temp solution-

Enable UseMachineCheck logoff, then log back in to play games. and vice versa.

Windowsblinds can make the vista effect on XP. But not that reg. tweak, and not standing on your head. kthx

Guide to viewing the aero experience the basic reason that microsoft is still working on this os.

besides all that crap posted above heres how to get glass enabled on all machines of a lesser breed works on all video cards / processor / ram combinations in all machines built in lets say the last 3-4 years to be safe.

>install vista (of course it won't work on xp anyone with an actual msdn invite should know that)

>next make sure your video card drivers are updated your gonna have to go online to find these vista might not recognize your hardware

>now right click the blank desktop

>go to: Personalize

>go to: Change theme

>go to: Classic

>you'll see why later it looks ugly for a few min. but trust me do it.

>Right click the taskbar

>customize startmenu

>find the show/hide run option select show (steps 4 5 6 included cuz it's prob. good to have run showing anyway)

>type "regedit" into run's text box

>click run

>go to: hkey_current_user -> software -> Microsoft

> now go to: edit -> New -> Key

>name the key (in all caps) DWM

>right click anywhere in the right pane except the word at the top

> go to: New -> DWORD

>name the DWORD UseMachineCheck

>now right click this DWORD

> go to: Modify

> make sure data value is set to "0" as in the numeral zero

> click the close button in the top right hand corner kinda looks like a highlighted red x

> enable aero theme

> oh no it didn't work on my machine!

> switch between aero and classic till it does!!!

>still doesn't work

>Resart

>now just to let you know it's gonna be really slow on some machines

>the best way to view glass go buy an nvidia 6200 vga capable graphics card or better

>up your ram if you like 1gb+ works best

>new processor maybe...

>it's up to you

>i bid you ado

>oh and stop downloaded pirated versions of build 5270 damn!

assume much?
