No Aero Support on ATI mobility radeon 9800

Has nothing to do with Microsoft or kinks to be worked out. Time is no cure in this instance.

Anything nForce3 or below is impossible to work in 7 or Vista. Must use XP.

I GOT IT TOO WORK ON THE NFORCE2
just to let any of you know..

I wiped windows 7 off..
Installed XP.. installed the Unified Driver for my motherboard instead of just the standard one included with xp and got everything running fine.

made a new partition and installed windows 7.. got full Graphics card support including Aero

and for some reason it now works

Awesome! Can you show us a screenshot?

Edit - (something tells me this is never going to happen.)

here you go.. sorry i had to go out :)

Hey, if this is for real, then congats.

Did you install some kind of MCP update driver or something made by a 3rd party or end user?

In case I have to tell others, how exactly did you get this to work?

i dont know really mate, i didnt do anything.

i decided i wanted to install XP so i can run games, cause they wouldnt run on 7 with the graphics card driver not working.
so I install XP on another partition, one of the drivers with XP wernt working correctly so i downloaded the Unified driver for xp and then everything was fine.
i then tried to dual boot both..
windows 7 BCD registry was corrupt apparently (using VistaBootPro)

I then deleted the Windows 7 partition and reinstalled it after installing XP.. let it do the setup and the aero was working straight away..
so either it got them from update or i dont know..

Ya, this is how I got mine to work. Do a fresh Install of Windows 7. Then install any drivers necassary to "connect to the Internet ONLY." Then immediatley the first thing you do, open windows update. Windows Update will provide you with an updated driver that supports Aero.

It will not work if you install a driver for your graphics card first and then check Windows Update. It will recognize your driver as good and not provide you with the updated Aero supported driver. Then I would goto the Microsoft Windows Update Cateloge and download and save that driver to and external HDD or USB Stick so the next time you need it or do a clean install of your OS just use that driver.

I have a DELL XPS Gen 1 laptop with an ATI 9700 128 Mb mobility card and W7 Pro 32 and AERO worked right off the bat when W7 installed.

The million dollar question here is - were you disconnected from network access when installing Windows?
