LightIdea Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Okay, I don't use Vista that much, but my g/f's laptop has Vista Basic, and I just changed the variables in the registry: CurrentUser/Software/Microsoft/Windows/DWM/ Then change (or add) Composition = 1 CompositionPolicy = 2 And then type this in command prompt: net stop uxsms thats to stop the theme service net start uxsms to start it again. Or is the OP trying to achieve something else.... ah crap here comes the people with pitchforks and flame torches ARGHH *runs* show device manager with Display Adapters expanded. The other screenshot shows he's using a x16 PCI express.... I don't think thats onboard graphics... unless I'm mistaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robgig1088 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 The other screenshot shows he's using a x16 PCI express.... I don't think thats onboard graphics... unless I'm mistaken I was thinking the same thing. Could be an Intel motherboard with an Nvidia card...

majortom1981 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Or he could be using one of the betas of vista that allow the hack to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martog Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I have a MSI 915P Mainboard with a Intel 915 chipsetI installed Windows Vista Ulitmate on this and it has Aero fully enabled and I am greatly experiecing it :D Here's a screenshot if you don't believe me: No it's really Aero.Where's Windowblinds? ozgeek, I looked up your motherboard from the part number CPU kindly gave, your motherboard is not an Intel 915G intergrated graphics motherboard. It has a PCI Express x16 slot and you are using that with an Aero capable video card. They are talking about people with the 915G with the graphics on board and how Areo is not working. http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec....l=915P_Combo-FR That is your board right there based upon the part number from CPU-Z Hmm, something makes me think thats a windowblinds theme. show device manager with Display Adapters expanded. You both had right to suspicions, why I looked up the board from the part number and found out it lacked integrated graphics, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozgeek Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Very close Martoq. I really have the MSI 915P-Combo (not FR) I have this and am using nvidia 6600GT card on PCI-E 16. Sorry for the confusion. I really thought you all was talking about the chipset which this mainboard has a i915 chipset. Very different things. I will "leave now and never come back" -gollum lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGSPro Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 No it's really Aero.Where's Windowblinds? No, you're right, its really aero since its blurring the background and not just transparent as windowblinds does it. But you couldev hidden the process.

Yeah, they want Aero on their 915 with integrated graphics and Intel did promise drivers that seem to not be coming out ever now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J400uk Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 One day it will be possible, I'm sure. I a tottaly agree with this, and I am sure that someone will find a way to get aero up on a 915 laptop. I am still hoping though that intel will perhaps release a proper WDDM driver for the 915 as it has been said before it is capable of running aero interface and could do so in the early beta releases.

Brandon Live Veteran Posted March 21, 2007 Veteran Share Posted March 21, 2007 One day it will be possible, I'm sure. The only way it will be possible will be if Intel releases a 915 WDDM driver, which I believe they have no intention to do. I've heard it's not even possible for them to write one, which would explain why they don't have one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mordkanin Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 or if someone manages to hack a working wddm driver for the 915. That just doesn't happen. Graphics drivers are incredibly complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard it's not even possible for them to write one, which would explain why they don't have one... I think they will release WDDM at some point purely because so so many people have signed the petition. We all know it is possible because the specs of the card meet the MS requirements, and in the pre-rc1 betas we had some beta WDDM drivers which would let the card run aero.
