Vista - Aero

Hey,

I just installed the vista beta 2 from the customer preview program. It's
very cool .

But how can I use aero? It isn't in the visual apperance dialog. I have a
centrino notebook, pentium m740 and nvidia geforce go 6600 (with the latest
nvdia vista drivers and laptopvideo2go inf file)

Maybe it's just an easy option but I can't find it

check it out here

Thanks for your answer. I have now booted xp, so I can't check it out right
now but that theme option is not in that list. (and my drivers are not
certificed, because there aren't any certificed drivers for my notebook)

Right click the Desktop > Personalize > Visual Appearance > Open Classic

does appear, your card is probably not WDDM Compliant. To known, if its WDDM
Compliant, click Start > right click Computer > Properties > Advance System

is not beside your card name, then your video card is not WDDM compliant.

Hi Andre


I have the geforce 7300le and I don't have the WDDM next to the cards name
and I have Aero turned on.
