For all you that lost aero..its a known issue that will be fixed in RTM, and
its due to having 512 mb of ram. Anyways, the workaround(from aeroxp) 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\CompositionPol icy 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' "Gabor977" wrote in message ...

This fix works but question. How do you open up a command prompt with admin
privileges? I used services.msc to do it instead of net stop. "Damir" wrote in message ...

Copy the shortcut for a command prompt from the start menu to your desktop. When you want an elevated command prompt right click the shortcut and pick Run as administrator. You can do the same thing through search "cmd.exe" or even navigate the start menu and right click it there. I find it convenient to have a shortcut on the desktop. -- Kerry MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca |

I cannot enable Windows Aero.
I could not get Aero to work until I rolled back from Nvidia's 64 bit Vista
driver! It works fine now. I also followed the steps further down this posting on modifying the registry. Good Luck, Eyejon "AeroVista" wrote in message ... Why can't I enable Windows Aero?

Is ATI better than Nvidia when it comes to harnessing the graphics potential
of the Windows Vista? Can someone share their experiences on a faster GPU? -- Vipin Aravind http://blogs.explorewindows.com "Eyejon" wrote in message ...

btw, Nvidia guys were saying that the Aero is enabled on 6x and 7x series.
Surprised to know that it is possible to run Aero with 5x series. -- Vipin Aravind http://blogs.explorewindows.com "AeroVista" wrote in message ... Why can't I enable Windows Aero?
