Vista - NVIDIA

I have a NVIDIA GeForce4 4200Ti and am unable to use Aero Glass. I went into
color schemes in Control Panel and there are no options. If i try to turn on
glass it does not work. What can I do to fix this?

I also am unable to use Windows Flip and Flip 3D. Do I have to turn it on?

You need to have the appropriate WDDM drivers. Go to Start, Run then type in
compmgmt.msc then hit OK. Click on the Device Manager and click the + button
to where your display hardware is. If it says WDDM, then it's fine. If not,
then the drivers aren't installed properly or your card is incompatible.

Download the latest drivers from the NVidia site, then right click on your
display adapter in the Device Manager, and click Update Driver. If after
that WDDM is displayed next to your card, then you'll be able to get Aero
Glass.

How about the nVidia GeForce FX 5200? This product is shown as definitely
being supported on the nVidia Website by their Vista beta 2 driver. However,
after downloading and installing the driver package, it says that it has no
drivers for this chipset.

Got any ideas? This chipset is on my Toshiba P25-S507 notebook.

Also, on my new Dell box, the nVidia GeForce 6800 chipset is WDDM, but I'm
not sure if I'm getting Aero Galss. The frames of all the windows seem pretty
opaque. Is there a setting to change this?

I have a 7800GT and the WDDM drivers are installed and Vista still won't let
me use the Aero Glass or the 3d flip. Any one know why this would be? I can
access the menu with the aero glass option and its unchecked when i check it
and hit ok nothing happens doesnt even close that window.
