Well, found something ...

@echo off
cd %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\
start rundll32.exe udwm.dll DwmClientStartup
exit 

Those commands put in a batch file should enable DWM ... gonna try it out in a minute (have to reboot)

go download Tweak Vista iam on XP but tweak vista allows you to enable aero glass for cards that dont support LDDM or so VDDM now since its vitsa right here is the link

no, aero glass doesnt work for me - not even an option in display properties

:angry:

Same here, UXSS does not do anything. My MSI nVidia 6600GT is not giving me any of the cute glass effect. :( Guess we all have to wait until Beta 2 (december).

:angry:

Vista is nice to look and is fast however as with all betas let the bug reports begin.

Anybody out there with a setup close to mine don't install your nforce2 drivers it will break aero.

Also i've noticed that directsound is screwed or is not finished. Foobar will not play at all even in waveOut and wmp has a hell of time playing an mp3.

After using Vista for several hours, I've got to say everything is pretty good. I had some install issues which were mostly my fault. It's fast, some cool new features. But I'm really looking forward to Beta 2 as many are. If you like, for example, at the early builds of XP and the later and final builds, the difference is almost night and day. I think Beta 1 is a good start, nothing too special, but I think it's a great platform to build on.

Thanks for the updates regarding TweakVista and the batch file. I've updated my blogw with that information. I knew TweakVista was planning to address this, but I didn't know they had released it already! Good job for them. Anyway, if you can't run TweakVista, try the batch file, that should still work. Anyway, I'm off to work for a while (10 hours :s). Once I get home I'll look more into all of this and do some more testing on certain things then do updates on my blog. Keep an eye out there for any new "hacks" to LH :)

Anyone using Vista on a laptop? I have the latop in a docking station, and typically output the notebooks display to an external monitor, with the Function+F4 keystroke. Looks like that keystroke is now gone.

Manually configuring the displays I can get it to output something on display 2, *only* if extend desktop is enabled.

Anyone else see this?

does Vista beta 1 support my SATA disks..

I mean on XP I must load my SATA drivers from a floppy (XP don?t find any drive to install on if i dont do that)...

If not will I have the option to load my drivers from floppy and will they work on Vista?

Driver is Sil 3512 SATA Raid Controller (Ihave a shuttle Barebone ST61G4).

My 2 question is there a list of supported GPU that suppor the new windows mannager?

Damn, you. I'm gettin 30 Kb here. :cry:

    • Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.

    • Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, as part of the improved Apple Intelligence capabilities, Apple today announced that it is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC), its privacy-focused cloud infrastructure for Apple Intelligence, beyond its own data centers for the first time. Private Cloud Compute was designed to handle Apple Intelligence requests that are too complex to run fully on-device. The PCC system does not store user data and does not allow Apple or anyone else to access user requests. Last year, Apple also expanded its Security Bounty program with rewards of up to $1 million for researchers who could find serious vulnerabilities in PCC. Until now, Apple's PCC data centers were using Apple's own silicon. As part of the expansion, Apple is working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Apple will be using this new infrastructure to execute more demanding AI tasks while maintaining the same privacy and security guarantees of PCC. The new implementation uses NVIDIA Confidential Computing with NVIDIA GPUs, Intel CPUs with TDX, and Google’s Titan chip. Apple says it has worked with Google to build additional protections beyond a traditional confidential computing deployment. Despite the expansion to third-party data centers, Apple claims that its core PCC requirements remain unchanged, including stateless computation, no privileged runtime access, non-targetability, and verifiable transparency. The company highlighted that it will continue to control the PCC software stack, and Apple devices will only trust PCC software that has been cryptographically approved by Apple. To take security to the next level, Apple mentioned that it is maintaining an append-only ledger of Google Cloud hardware that is part of the PCC fleet. The company claims this will help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks. In addition to AI infrastructure, Apple also worked with Google to use technologies behind the Gemini family of models to build the next generation of Apple Foundation Models to power Apple Intelligence features across on-device and cloud workloads. As expected, for more demanding AI tasks like agentic tool use and complex reasoning, Apple will rely on the expanded PCC infrastructure running on Google Cloud. The expansion of PCC on Google Cloud will gradually ramp toward the full set of protections during the summer preview period. As before, Apple will also publish binaries for public inspection, provide research tooling, and give researchers access to live PCC nodes in research mode through the Apple Security Bounty Program.
