I8PP Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Did you have the fancy-shmancy effects before and they just disappeared? Did you ever have the effects? If no to both, or if you just installed 5219 and still don't have it, you probably don't have the right hardware for it. LDDM drivers are installed by default by Setup for hardware that it currently supports. That list of compatible hardware is on the Connect site. As for sidebar, that wasn't officially included with the build released for testers/PDC, search around for that leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AQUaDeX Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Follow the instructions here: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=374930 I recommend you to look for my post, it provides the most simple method of enabling the effects, but I'm not claiming credit for that since I'm not the one discovered it. Tip: using the latest graphics drivers always helps alot, and if you can't get the effects to work using that method, it simply means your card does not support it hardwarewise and there is no way to fix that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
