Need Desperate yet Simple Help!

[Scottyrocks123]

I have an Acer Aspire 1641WLMi, and have just installed Windows 7 Ultimate, however I cannot change the colour of the toolbar, and I cannot get a preview of the windows that are open, it just previews it in text. Why can't I see this and how can I fix this? Need help quickly. Thank you.
Scott.

Update your drivers.

 

[Scottyrocks123]

Can you point me in the right direction and tell me what to do step by step mate?

 

[FZ21Z]

Have you run Windows Update?

 

[Scottyrocks123]

Yeah..

 

[FZ21Z]

Does your graphic card show in device manager?

 

[Scottyrocks123]

Mmm what should it be called?

 

[Scottyrocks123]

Is there anyway we can speak quicker than this? Like MSN? I need real quick help .

Press Windows key+Pause break. Wats ur rating in Windows experience index?

 

[Scottyrocks123]

Only 1.0. How can I upgrade this?

 

[Ch@n]

Next to the numbers, it wil ask you to check/update. Clik on it and wait for the test to run and complete. If the rating is = or > 3, then ur VGA has passed the test to run 7 efficiently. Once the rating is 3, Aero will be enabled for u. ith this, watever u hv asked wil also be enabled.

Try this - ATI Radeon X300 WDM Integrated Driver v.9.8 download for Windows Vista, Windows Vista 64-bit

 

[Scottyrocks123]

How do I make it increase to three?

 

[Scottyrocks123]

Ahh but I have Windows 7 and that says Windows Vista?

 

[Ch@n]

First u need to run the test. The test will tell you where ur system lacks. Accor, we can suggest. You can also use the above drivers to update ur VGA

Edit: It will work. Most vista drivers sits on 7. Try it.

 

[Scottyrocks123]

Alright.
1. My two parts below 3 are my Graphics(1) and Gaming Graphics(1.9).
2. What do I do once I have downloaded it?

Thank you for this. Will this make it work for sure or not?

 

[FZ21Z]

Ahh but I have Windows 7 and that says Windows Vista?

You will need to use a Vista driver as there doesn't seem to be 7 drivers for your card.

 

[Scottyrocks123]

Alright I installed it. What do I do now?

 

[FZ21Z]

2. What do I do once I have downloaded it?

Run it.

Thank you for this. Will this make it work for sure or not?

Not sure. Acer doesn't even have a support page for your model, so I'm guessing it's quite a few years old, and unless there are users here with the same model who can help, others can only speculate.

I ran it and installed it, then did another test and it didnt change anything mate..
