Re: Cant enable Vista Aero

Actually, I also remember reading someones Vista performance tweak thread and it said to disable Transparency. Aero needs it to run. BTW, it's in windows color and appearance

Re: Cant enable Vista Aero

lol Finally i got it to work. Reason i couldnt get aero was because i disabled 'Desktop Windows Manager'.

How to re-enable Aero if it is not working.
If for some reason, you are unable to enable or run or start Aero feature in Vista, here are some troubleshooting steps you can try :First, ensure that your version of Vista has Aero. Home Premium, Business, Enterprise & Ultimate have Aero.
Also ensure that your Graphic card supports WDDM (Windows Display Driver Model)
Next, right-clicking on the desktop, select Personalize.
Click on Themes and select the default Windows Vista themes.
Next, in Windows Color & Appearance, ensure that Enable Transparency is checked.
Also ensure that 'Desktop Windows Manager' Service is set on Automatic.

Re: Cant enable Vista Aero

Now you can try them new 174 drivers from NVidia. Maybe they can get their s_ _ _ together and make a decent driver for vista
