Aero glass doesnt work on my laptop

Hello people , Am not a computer geek but I have just got windows 7 installed on my laptop but my video card doesnt support glass areo and i really want that thing :O , Is there any way to come over this problem without gettin a new tech laptop ?besides, I tried many ways of registry hacking and stuff but it didnt work for me ,The model of my laptop is ''HP Compaq nc6220''
Any help would go long
Thanxxx

hey
I just checked HP and although they say not all features are supported. You have an intel integrated video set up. Me too and I'm running aero. How much ram do you have and how much shared video memory? I can tell you how to find out if you need later.

BTW welcome to SF, dont be afraid to ask. We're a friendly places with some very knowlegible people.

Hope I have helped

Piece of cake Go start>type system>click system information and presto. also there are some really comprehensive apps that tell you wonderful things. One of these is sisoftsandra. This is what you get. Let me know if I can be of more use.

Hello zealme753,

Welcome to Seven Forums.

Have you updated your WEI score. Aero won't work if it doesn't know if your system can handle it. Start/Control Panel(Icons View)/Performance Tools and Information. Click the button to rate the computer. If it is capable, you should be able to turn it on after that.

Hope this helps.

Gary

Hey Gary thanks
well its been rated already with 1.0
And rating of ''destop performance for windows aero '' is 1.9
ermm is that it , or shall i tell you the rest of my computerz rating ?:S

Thats it. 1.9 is probably not going to be able to be forced into aero. If you add ram that will go up enough. Damn I thought it was do-able. It might still be. Let me check it out
