ok i have a dell E1505 i got vista sometime back and i wanted aero but sopsily my Intel GMA 950 Graphics Cards was not the right card today so but it works just fine if you want to do this heres how.

This is how I got Vista Glass to run on a GMA950:

First, I had to open up device manager. Click on the start menu and type in devmgmt.msc and Enter to load it up.

Once there, expand the Display Adapters section and right click on each device and select Uninstall.

Reboot the computer.

When it restarts, it should install a generic video driver so your screen will still work.

Go back into Device Manager, expand the Display Adapters section again and then right click on the device and select Update Driver.

This time select Browse My Computer for Driver and then Let me pick it from a list.

Go the the Intel section and select the Intel? Lakeport Graphics Controller.

Hit OK and install the new driver. Restart your computer.

Once you have rebooted, right click on your desktop and select Personalize again.

Click on Windows Colors and Appearance.

Click on Open classic appearance properties for more color options. aero.jpg

In the Color Scheme box, select Windows Vista Aero.

Hit OK and glass will now load.

If glass does not work for you, go back to Device Manager and ensure the new display driver is working.

it work on there chipset Mobile Intel? 915GM/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family i tryed it one my old labtop it work just fine

i sujest having 1 gb of ram i tryed it with 512 mb sysem ran slow with aero on with 1 gb of ram allmost as fast as it nomaly diok i changed it a bit so the screen should not go blank now follow the new onesb>

i got to give cretit to this guy Steve Sinchak

this is where i found it http://www.tweakvista.com/article38988.aspx

Thanks for the tip!!!!

This worked for me too. I wasnt getting Aero on my Nvidia go 6200. I just reselected Aero from the pannel and voila... Aero ..:):)

All x300 cards should work including the SE versions :) However, you'll need a minimum of 1 GB of memory since the graphics card uses shared memory.

Just be sure to use these drivers: https://support.ati.com/ics/support/KBAnswe...uestionID=19933 :)

since the graphics card uses shared memory.

I'm pretty sure those are HyperMemory cards. Correct me if i'm wrong. :huh:

I'm pretty sure those are HyperMemory cards. Correct me if i'm wrong. :huh:

Yes...the x300, x600, and 200M cards all use HyperMemory. So, you don't need 1GB of RAM to run Vista. I've got 512MB with 128MB of it being given to graphics. It runs just perfectly, and it runs pretty fast on my Athlon 64 laptop. It'll run even better with 1GB...just waiting for my 1GB stick to get here from Newegg. :)

Hmmm I can't seem to get this to work. At first Vista (5456) installed proper 950 GMA drivers from Windows Update but those didn't enable aero, so I tried clicking update driver and installing the 'Intel? Lakeport Graphics Controller' and restarted. But when I opened up device manager it had an error. Any other ideas on how to get this working? I tried the old UseMachineCheck reg hack but that doesn't seem to work anymore.. I've got the Mobile Intel 945gm Express Chipset. Thanks for your help:))

I believe the 945/950 can run Aero Glass just fine. But the problem for me is that the "Lakeport" driver doesn't work on my Mac Mini, or at least it didn't in the last build I tried. Hopefully it will soon as the hardware should support all the necessary functionality. It just needs a working WDDM driver.

You have already posted that question here; https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...#entry588283681

I can get the drivers out of my beta 2 dvd if you tell me how.

Edited by J400uk

I dont really know how it can be done as i dont have it in front of me. I dont know how that version's files are really structured. get something that can view the contents of .cab files (i think winrar can do it) and determine which of the files are intel graphics drivers, and then just post those i suppose

Honestly though, I was hoping to find atleast SOMEONE who still had it installed, as it would be quite easy for them to send the file.

Sorry about posting the same question twice, just trying to get more users to respond..these guys likely already have the driver on their machine, am i right?

Again, does it work with Mobile Intel? 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family?:ss
Yes it does work. And I have video proof at http://www.istartedsomething.com/20060613/...ta-screencasts/

I did exactly what the 1st post said, but for some reason ... I can't find the Intel Lakeport Graphics Controller listed when choosing which driver I want to install.

I have the Mobile Intel 915GM/GMS/910GML Express CHipset Family ...

Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance!

I dont think the lakeport drivers are provided in the final version of vista...

thats why i am trying to get someone,anyone to simply make these available online. they should be already, and i dont know why they wouldnt be.

    • Re: Capitalism. It's just 1 of dozens of economic models currently-adopted worldwide; most national models separate money from politics thereby limiting the influence wealth carries over the economy (due to limited tentacles wealth politics has over the broader economy). The "American model" of unfettered financial influence should NOT be the variant of pure capitalism adopted worldwide. More regulations formulated within this variant is effectively useless due to the misalignment between regulatory objectives and fundamental influence wealth politics carry over the market. Re: enough money. Without constraining the breadth/depth/scope/scale that any measure of money/wealth can have within a market, there will always inherently be those who have "enough money" and those who do not. Those without "enough money" will always lose -- regardless if a bedroom DJ, indie developer, or million-dollar corporation going against a billion-dollar mega-corporation. The evil is the absence of guardrails against the influence of wealth; not the mere existence of wealth. Re: dragged through the courts. The liberalist nature of litigation does not exclude anyone, anywhere, for any reason for getting dragged through the courts. Rather than formalize remediation pathways for various perceived ills, everything is left up to flawed interpretations... and this is where a litigation-averse community fails to thrive (thus a losing proposition when dragged to courts). Everyone should have more protections and clear remediation strategies! Going to an alternate remediation arbitration is OK so long as the case review and remediation processes are clear and transparent. For corporations, hit them where it hurts: automatic financial penalties. (PS: This is where corporate risk management strategies would do well to behave more ethically.) Overall, failure to truly shake-up the incentive core and regulatory extremities of the economic market will necessarily mean that all other actions are simply applying lipstick on a pig. Change begins from the inside. Is the root cause of the problem that a majority of consumers within a market goes for Option Brand-name versus Option Indie? Or that brand-name is spending foreign money to control domestic markets? Or that money is the objective measure for success across all walks of life? Or that deep pockets dictate the moral and ethical rights/wrongs of entire societies? Regardless of the answer (and there's nothing inherently wrong with being a socialist or communist or whatever label your surroundings deem 'cool' or 'uncool') there's a common thread: If a market truly wants to nurture domestic innovation, then performative finger-wagging will do nothing to that end.
