    nVidia FX 5200 driver for win7 (makes Aero work!!)


    ok, follow these easy steps to make aero work on your fx5200-based system

    the wddm1.0 driver that DOES work with this card is the last forceware release that included the FX series, wich is the 96.85 release.

    you can do a google search for it or download it from here:
    FX 5200 Vista Driver - Software Driver Download

    after installing this driver you will not see any new effects, so just go to the
    "theme" settings and change the theme to any theme with 'aero' effects (I chose 'Architecture', you can choose another one), and VOILA!!, aero comes to win7 with your FX5200 card.

    CHEERS!

    Please help me someone!

    You can download the driver for Windows Vista for the GeForce FX 5200 from the Nvidia website and it should work just fine. Here's the link for the 32-bit version: ForceWare Release 95. You shouldn't need to run it in compatiblity mode or anything, just run it as if it were a Windows 7 driver. I had an FX 5200 in a Windows 7 32-bit computer and I don't quite remember if you'll get a prompt saying the driver is not digitally signed but if you do get this prompt, just make sure you click on "Install this driver anyway".

    get aero


    Hi dudes , probably too late but once you gave re installed windows, or changed video card you need to refresh the windows experience index, Once it completes you will have aero. If you dont do that it will not display aero transparencey :)
    Hope that helped
