Video card driver doesn't support Aero effects
I got this error after i used the troubleshooter in my laptop. I was surprised to find my screensaver not working with the message "the screensaver can't run because it requires a newer video card or one thats compatible with Direct3D". This error happened recently after I reinstalled my Windows 7 Home Premium OS into my laptop. Before this it was fine.
Here are my laptop specs:
Acer Aspire 4745G
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
4GB DDR3 RAM
512MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470
I'm at a loss because I installed the latest ATI Catalyst Suite then it happened. I read other threads quite similar to this before but I can't seem to solve it on my own, especially when I'm not good with computers and stuff. Therefore, any help would be much appreciated.
