Does anyone know how to find out if a graphics card driver is WDDM certified? Because I'm not sure if the latest one for my NVIDIA card is or not, as a driver not being compatible with WDDM can cause issues with transparency and other Aero effects as I've read.

Now Aero SOMETIMES works on start, but everything's sluggish and Aero will usually crash back to Basic. Restarting still resolves the issue. I'll probably clean install later... But what a pain reinstalling the programs will be... ugh...
Start search box type >>> dxdiag Press enter ..

Then look under the Display Tab ...
