I just had a look at the Display Drivers with LDDM Support listing and Aeolus 6800GT-DV256 is not listed as far as I can see. However I could be wrong since it requires you to look at the Dxdiag output file and match it.

Have a go with it and see if it's on the list or not.

Where can I find that LDDM list?

Ah found it ... but there is no 6xxx/7xxx card in that list!  What the hell, is my hardware too "new" for Vista?

Argh.

Or too old :laugh:

Mine is not in the list too... so I'm looking around for a new card to purchase. My card is old anyway... GeForce 4 Ti4200 64MB

What are you ouizhvzpoe about?

There are only FX and quadro models in that LDDM list, e.g.

Nvidia
NVIDIA_NV35.DEV_0333.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce FX 5950 Ultra (LDDM)"

No 6800 or 7800 ... so how can my card be too old, it's newer than those already in that list!

chrispinto : i see that you're running a Nvidia 6x00 card too, can you run that new DX desktop?

I was joking. :p

Maybe it's not supported yet? Anyway, this is off topic... we should be discussing this in the newsgroup. See you over there!

so the Aero glass is not enabled by ddefault?

well, from what i can tell, there is no aero glass

if anyone can point me in the right direction, then please do

It's just because your card is not being detected as dx9.0c compatible.

ahh well, beta 2 it is then.

Gunna submit a bug for that though... stupid how 5xxx series cards work fine (ESPECIALLY tthe 5200) and not the 6xxx series

When i was installing i think it said "Graphic cards that have PCI-E counterparts dont work yet cause they have the same name" or something like that, anyways my Nvidia FX 5200 works with Aero Glass :p

That was said about only 2 cards, the X700 and the X800 or something. Solution was, to boot to safe mode and install drivers from the manufacturer.

Don't report a bug, complain to your hardware manufacturer, Nvidia. They haven't made LDDM compatible drivers for LH yet. It's their problem, not Microsoft's

have you seen the bug report tool? it gives an optionn for drivers/compatibility

Yeah, ATI has LDDM drivers for the 9500 to current on x86 and x64, however, Nvidia has only made LDDM drivers for the 5xxx line, and that's only on the x86 version. I can't believe they would do that, no support for 6xxx or 7xxx. Hopefully you can get some drivers from them soon, or there will be a hack to make Aero work on any card without a check.

Edit: Blog post regarding this is up, take a look for more information to explain it all: http://www.extended64.com/blogs/ajerman/default.aspx

    • Yeah, when I saw that, I wanted to find the nearest nose. You can't find a good nose these days when you need one.
    • Anthropic launches Claude Fable 5, a state-of-the-art AI model that beats OpenAI's GPT-5.5 by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in April, Anthropic announced Claude Mythos Preview, a frontier model with state-of-the-art coding capabilities. Due to the cybersecurity implications that would occur due to the availability of such a powerful model, Anthropic made it available to only a select set of companies around the world. The company's plan was to prepare appropriate guardrails before releasing such a powerful model to everyone. Now, after nearly two months, Anthropic announced Claude Fable 5, its most capable AI model yet for general users. The company also announced Claude Mythos 5, the same underlying model as Fable 5, but with safeguards lifted, making it more suitable for selected cybersecurity and biology use cases. Claude Fable 5 sits a tier above its Opus models and it beats most other generally available models across areas including software engineering, knowledge work, vision, scientific research, and long-running autonomous tasks. To prevent model misuse, when Claude Fable 5 detects certain requests related to cybersecurity, biology, chemistry, or model distillation, the request will be routed to the Claude Opus 4.8 model. Anthropic claims that these safeguards trigger in less than 5% of sessions on average. However, for large organizations working on critical software, Claude Mythos 5 can be availed through Project Glasswing. Later, Anthropic has plans to expand access through a broader trusted access program. As you can notice in the benchmarks above, Fable 5 and Mythos 5 are state-of-the-art on most key AI benchmarks and they are well ahead of OpenAI's frontier model, GPT-5.5. For example, Fable 5 is the new state-of-the-art model for vision tasks. Also, Mythos 5 has the strongest cybersecurity capabilities of any model in the world. Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 are priced at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens, which is less than half the price of Claude Mythos Preview. Another big change is that Anthropic is making a change to the way they handle business customer data for both Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models. The company will now require 30-day retention for all traffic on both first- and third-party surfaces. Anthropic promises that it won't use the data to train Claude models, instead it will use it against complex and novel attacks. Claude Fable 5 is available today on the Claude API and consumption-based Enterprise plans. It is also included at no extra cost for Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise customers from today through June 22. After that, users on those plans will need usage credits to continue using Fable 5, unless Anthropic extends the included access window based on capacity. Developers can access Fable 5 through the Claude API using the claude-fable-5 model name.
    • Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion to bring snowy region, new updates also coming by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Capcom had a surprise waiting for Dragon's Dogma fans today in the Nintendo Direct presentation. The company revealed an expansion for the second installment with a name that should be familiar to series veterans. Coming later this year, Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is promising a massive new region to explore, new monsters, fresh skills to learn, and more. The studio says players will be heading to the Northern region of the world, named Norgan, to find new secrets about an undying "Fallen Dragon." There will be forgotten relics that the protagonist can find to unlock fresh weapons and skills the expansion is introducing. Players will also be able to find mysterious equipment from a previous Arisen as a part of the expansion, all part of 12 Lost Rites Dungeon Challenges they must complete to gain access. In Neowin's own review, I found Dragon's Dogma 2 to be an impressive RPG when it launched back in 2024, giving the title an 8.5/10 for its class variants, companion system, and immersive exploration. "Once a prosperous region of the kingdom of Vermund, it was abandoned many years ago for reasons unknown," says Capcom about the new region. "Long has it been since any soul traveled its paths. Blanketed in heavy snow, these frigid lands are home to savage hordes and creatures of unbelievable power. Those who are capable of vanquishing such fearsome foes, or those who possess a keen eye for exploration, will find themselves rewarded with powerful relics." Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion launches on October 9, 2026, with a $29.99 price tag. Ahead of the expansion release, Capcom is also planning to release two free updates to the base game. The first will land tomorrow, June 10, bringing more accessible fast travel with an Eternal Ferrystone and other quality-of-life adjustments. The second update will land sometime in August, aiming to improve frame rates, add more save slots, and bring even more community-requested adjustments. This expanded Dark Arisen edition is also launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 on the same day the content comes to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
