When I try to iniate Aero I am told my video card does not support it. I have a Asus AH3450. Can anyone tell me where I can get a WDDM compatible driver so that I can use Aero.
Any help would be much appreciated.

regards

Brian

According to research a Radeon HD 3450 should be able to run aero, but then again it's only got 256MB of ram and a 64-bit memory interface. I'd run wei as zig suggested and then download the latest drivers from here:

4.2 , this is your base score. a new (better graphics card) will up the card index, but then the CPU score maybe used as base score, in other words the lower score is always the base index.

is that clear. cheers.
