Does you card display Aero? If so, it is WDDM. Aero will
not be an option is the driver is not WDDM.

If you've downloaded the correct driver for your video card from the ATI
website then you've got what you need, regardless of whether or not it says
so. As Theo points out, if it displays all the Aero effects then you have
the right drivers.

If not, then something odd is going on, I did a test install of Vista RTM on
a machine with an ATI X1800 video card, an older card than what you have,
and those drivers were all I needed.
