Aero not enabled?
Hi, Running Vista Ultimate 32Bit, scores are as follows: CPU - 4.3, Ram -
4.5, Graphics - 5.9, Gaming - 4.9, HDD - 5.2. I am running a ATI Radeon X800GT, With a 3.2Ghz P4 CPU and a gig of DDR2 Memory, no matter what I do I am not getting an option for Aero in Windows Color and Apperance. Has anyone got any ideas???? Thanks |

Aero not enabled?
Join the Club. I have an X800GT in a bag next to my vista PC. Could not get
Aero to work despite latest ATI drivers etc. Gave up and put in a radeon X1650 with no problems. I needed to get a card with dual link DVI anyway... "Neural Beast" wrote in message ...

Do you have 2 512MB DDR2 Dim or 1 1GB DDR2 Dim? There have been several
reports of Aero not running unless you have a pair of DDR2 chips. "Neural Beast" wrote in message ...

Maybe I missed the start of this thread, don't know. But processor and RAM
are largely irrelevant. It's all about the video card. See page below and links from the http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...a2fbf1033.mspx Is the problem that you can't choose Windows Vista as your theme in Personalization? -- wrote in message oups.com...

In another thread 2-3 weeks ago the OP for the thread tryid many suggestions
from many users that support this newsgroup and none of the suggestins solved his problem. He himself finally found out that as long as he used a pair of 512MB DDR2 Dimms or a pair of 1GB Dimms Aero worked fine. But if if he used a pair of 512MB dimms and a single 1GB Dimm he could not run Aero. None of us could explain why this was true since there is no reference to this "requirement" in any documentation. wrote in message oups.com...
