I think Aero Glass requires DirectX 9c (shader model 2) support.

The Geforce 4 MX is a DX7 card. (It's more like a Geforce2 than a Geforce4 ti, if memory serves. The marketing was controversial when the card was new.) It won't support Aero regardless of how much VRAM it has.

awww....but the specs said it needed 128mb

so there are no hacked files

You can try this:

Seeing that you have a capable Graphics Card, it will probably work.

Amount of megabytes the card has isn't the only determining factor in running Aero. Your card also needs to be DX9 compatible, have a WDDM driver, and have Pixel Shader 2.0 hardware or higher. Your card is missing one or more of these features, and I know for a fact it's missing being DX9 compatible. Also I don't think the GeForce 4 series have WDDM drivers either.

Right.

It's worse than that, though: it's a Geforce4 MX, which isn't really a Geforce 4 at all.

I believe that its a DX7 card. No Aero.
