Problem with Aero Theme
Hi there
So I have a problem with aero theme, I just format my laptop and befor that aero theme works great, but after formating my laptop, aero won't work.
The problem: Code: The current video card may support Aero with a driver that is compliant with the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). Contact the manufacturer of your computer or video card for a WDDM-compatible driver. I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
ASUS Laptop.
Info: 
Please help. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit.

Looks like you need to install/update your video card drivers.
It's seeing it as nvidia which is probably correct but you'll need to manually install the newest drivers for proper support.
If you give me the exact model of the laptop I can point you to them. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Insane hobo technologies. ;-)

If it is nvidia getting it from them directly is also an option. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Insane hobo technologies. ;-)

MS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit |
I have an Asus 1002HA XP. Asus has all of the necessary Win 7 drivers for my netbook. The drivers are up-to-date and function very well.
Guess I'm just lucky. The reason my netbook name has an XP on the end is because originally Asus only supported XP on that model, but now they support Win 7 and provide Win 7 drivers. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Toshiba Satellite L305D laptop

I have a striker extreme, striker extreme 2, and striker forumla motherboards.
None of them have proper windows 7 support even though the lesser boards from the same time do
Fortunately the striker extreme are nvidia chipsets or I wouldn't even be able to run windows 7. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Insane hobo technologies. ;-)
