I've tried almost everything at this point and yet i can't enable aero, first
here's my specs:
ati X850 PE
AMD athlon 64 3400+
2.00 Gig's of ram
50 gigs of free hard disk space (2 other hard-drives totalling in 400 gigs)
windows vista beta 2 5384
Alright i installed the beta last night, activated it first thing. Installed
the new catalyst drivers from ATI for my GPU. Updated all my other drivers
(sound, wifi, etc.)
Ran the performance test. scored a 3 (it also states that i have an unkown
graphics card) but, i still can't enable aero. In fact not only can i not
enable it, but i don't have the option. It just doesn't exist, i can only
choose vista basic, there's no other options (except older windows choices,
classic etc.) and this is driving me nuts. Also it doesn't even list that i
have a video adapter, some games don't play correctly and it gives me an
error at their start, stating that i don't have a direct 3d card enabled, or
something equally annoying. I've searched everywhere i can and i'm still
pullin my hair out. Oh and i really don't want to use the downloadable aero
theme either.
-please help i've already waisted 24 hours and i still really want to see
aero in action.
