aero effect and transparency

[ej18]

sorry sir,just a beginner, where can i check it?

Well, it's set to 256MB by default, but since it seems that you have not been in the BIOS before, then I would recommend to not worry about it to be safe. I wouldn't want you to accidentally change something by mistake and cause some other issue. 256MB meets the requirements for Aero.

How long as Aero not been working for you?

ej18 go to computer on the start menu and right click it and select properties. Left click properties.
Your systmes "rateing" is displayed on that page. It will be a number rangeing from 1.0 to 7.9.

If your rateing is below 3.0 areo will shut itself down and become unusable.

since i reformat it brink..i never used the aero effect..heres my properties joel its 3.0

EJ,

Well, since it worked before you formated, do you have the latest graphics driver installed? If you do, then you might see if uninstalling and reinstalling it may help.

 

[ej18]

thnx for d advice. no, i never experience also aero before in my previews OS which is vista home premium.Ive already try to uninstall the VGA and stall it again.nothings happen..im loosing hope.

I'm extremely sorry to intercept and as Im not adding any solution to the problem and I dont even doubt your intelligency but this is not true.

My system rating is 2.9 and AERO works for me as it works for any other normal aero user.

I humbly request you to check your facts again.

 

[ej18]

really?can you post your registry editor,DWM format?

EJ,

I'm starting to believe that your graphics or graphics driver may just not support Aero either.

I'm not sure what generic or otherwise graphics driver version Windows 7 installed for you, but this is all that I could find for your SiS Mirage 3+ at the manufacturer's website quoted below. There's not even any support for Vista.

Well it actually depends on the computer. On mine when my system rating was 1.0 ( i didn't have some required drivers) my aero got shut of. But on my freinds comp who has a rating of 2 something his aero works perfectly.

thnx...my video card is sis672. Anyone, is there any driver compatible to this to run the aero?

 

[gregrocker]

Run the Aero troubleshooter and it will tell you what is keeping Aero from running. Type aero in start search box to get to it: Find and Fix Problems with Transparency.

Did you right click Desktop, select Personalize and choose an Aero theme?

Rightclick Computer>Properties>Advanced Sys Settings>Performance settings to make sure transparency is enabled.

Finally, post your driver issue in the Drivers forum here to get help finding and installing the latest display driver. There may be a modded driver for that chip/card via Google. If the latest you come up with is XP, then try installing it by running Setup in compatibility mode: rightclick setup>Properties>Compatibility>set to XP SP2>Run as Admin.

XP SP2 is normally the place to start if you have an XP program or driver. Then try other modes to see if they work.

No, I was not kidding. Most apps/drivers from XP which I install in compat. mode work in SP2, which is why I suggested it.
