    Standard VGA Adapter problem.


    Hello guys, I've posted here about something similar to which I solved thanks to your good help But now there's something I need to clarify. My PC, back in October had a incident that I don't want to go over which caused my repairer to replace the Graphics card. I lost Aero (simulating it now with Transbar and TrueTransparency). What boots up when I start the PC shows the card as: SIS True Color 16 Bit PCI or some stuff life that.. I downloaded CPU-Z and put my latest specifications in my system specs.. so click em! See if you could help me verify the graphics driver or anything, the previous one was a NVIDIA GeForce one. It also shows my monitor as Generic PnP

    Hi IngestedFool, I thought you had solved this problem when you switched cables ? The SIS card you have is only 16bit meaning it will not support aero which needs directx 9 and above I personnally think its time for a new later model of GFX card that will support aero , Is there anywhere else you acn go to purchase from and not the same person who put the older GFX card in for you ? :)

    Hi Pebbly, and I did solve the problem but then BSOD's and crashing came so I disabled it. I've been simulating Aero now and it feels like 95% that I have it. Well, I will buy a new graphics card during Christmas and thanks for answering my question and giving me all the details I need. Solved :) added to your reputation btw

    @pebbly
    It's solved but I just want to clarify that the card is currently supporting Directx 11 as stated in both DXDIAG, msinfo32 and CPU-Z.

    Hi IngestedFool, If the card is showing as running directx 11 then it cant be a 16bit card (16bit high colour, 24bit true colour) could you please run this free little program Speccy - System Information - Free Download this will tell us the correct gfx card in your system ,we will then be able to help you correct the problem :)

    That doesn't tell us anything, I'm afraid. Download and run GPU-Z Video card GPU Information Utility and post back with a snip showing the Graphics Card tab.
