How to find WDDM compatible driver for my Asus X453M running on W7?
Hello,
I bought a new Asus X453M notebook/laptop for my partner. The shop installed (upon our request) W7 Ultimate but it was a terrible amateurish mess, including tons of spyware, browser hijack etc. Cleaning up the mess with various antivirus tools seemed finally successful - but it was NOT. Complete clean reinstall was necessary.
Before doing so I found out that this Asus model is preset for Windows 8.1 and BIOS-changes were necessary before installing W7. I followed the instructions, then installed W7 successfully. After that lots of W7-related drivers had to be downloaded, which I found on a website dealing with this Asus model. Most of all these steps were eventually successfully completed.
But there is ONE thing I cannot get done:
The W7 Aero glass look does not work and the task bar color cannot be changed in 'personalize'.
Troubleshooting says my video card can support the Aero feature, but I need to install a WDDM compatible driver for it.
But whatever I tried, I cannot find such driver.
Anyone?
If you reply, keep in mind I am not a computer expert at all. Every new step has a huge learning curve. So please be simple ;-)
Thanks, greetings,
Wim
