Installed RC2 and lost Aero!

[NY1]

Well I installed build 5744 and I no longer have the ability to enable aero :angry: I have an ATI X800 XL graphics card and never had a problem running aero on any pervious build. Can someone help me enable aero.

Thanks.

Same card. You are using the default wddm drivers right?

err wait I have the 1800 not 800 nm.

If anyone else is having this problem, a fix has been posted on the shellrevealed forums :

"It's seems that it is a known issue happening when you have only 512mo of RAM and will be fix in RTM. During this time here's a workaround :

1/ Ensure that you have the following registry value set to :

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\Composition set to 1 (32-bit DWORD)

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\CompositionPolicy set to 2 (32-bit DWORD)

2/ Restart DWM by opening a command prompt with administrative privileges :

- Type 'net stop uxsms'

- Then 'net start uxsms'
