| | Windows Aero scheme won't show on Appearence Setings Hi, I have recently reinstalled my Windows Vista Ultimate x64 (my hardware config below). After instalation, I just can't get Windows Aero to work. It won't appear a scheme under Appearences Settings list box. Before reinstalling Vista, I had the very same version installed and Aero features worked perfectly. No hardware changes were made. Hardware: Intel(R) 946GZ Express Chipset Family Intel Core2 Duo 1.87 Ghz 2mb DDR2 666 300 IDE Hard Drive (20 gb on windows vista partition is available) |

When done, run the "Update My Score" in "Performance Information and Tools" in the Control Panel (Classic View). Shawn |

(I don't think... :P ) Lang |
