Default Aero will not function

Anyone have any luck finding a 3D driver for on board Intel 915GM/GMS/910GML

Or any other suggestions?

To the best of my knowledge the lowest end intel video card that supports
Aero is the 950. If you have a desktop then you can upgrade to a dedicated
solution; if you have a laptop...Throw it off a bridge and replace it with a
new one? I wish I could be of more help.

That was one of the most sought after drivers among the TechBeta
participants over the last year and a half. Intel apparently does not
intend to write the drivers.

If Intel doesn't have them, you are out of luck. Given we're talking about
an onboard video card that was state of the art about five years ago I'd say
you're out of luck.

I think there is actually a hardware limitation on this card. I believe it
needs to support pixel shader 2.0 in order to run AERO glass.

Another poster also pointed out that it does not support DirectX 9 in
hardare.

Aero will only support mid to upper level video cards. Your Intel video is
a low end video solution and will not support aero.

Time to upgrade

I don't know what you mean by a "Low end card" the card is certainly
powerfull enough the problem is that it is an older card and does not have
DX9 and possibly other support functions required by MS for Vista.

DX9 and Pixel Shader 2.0 must be supported in hardware. Software support is
insufficient.

I thought that is what I said the card does not provide Vista required
functions even though it has the GPU power required . However, since MC
only communicates with the card drivers and not to the card itself MC does
not know where the DX9 support is provided from. ATI for example provided
the DX9 support for its 91xx and 92xx cards it its XP Catalyst drivers and
MC never knew the difference.
