Is there any surefire way to force enable aeroglass in windows 7?

[da pirate]

I have tried multiple times with the registry editor tweaks and all that other crap but it isn't working. I really would like aero enabled and I know I cannot be the only one with this problem. Program recommendations are good too.

What graphics card do you have?

[da pirate]

ATI moblility radion 9000

The only way is to have a decent GPU and a decent Windows version.

I thought there was a forced way to do it. I just wanted it so I can disable the transparency and use it as such.

surefire way: Windows 7 Home Premium or higher, non-integrated GPU after the year 2005(probably)

Only way I know is to install the latest drivers and hope Windows considers them good enough to run Aero.

My integrated graphics accelerator (it's not even good enough to be a GPU) runs aero fine and it's even enabled by default.

[da pirate]

updated it... still nothing...

[adzicents]

Then no, you'd have to have a different card.

If you have starter there is no way to really do this without some nasty hacks.

I am running ultimate...

It is [b]IMPOSSIBLE[/b] to run aero on that IGP, the Mobility Radeon 9000 doesn't even support DX9 let alone SM 3. You might as well give up. [url]http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Mobility-Radeon-9000.6942.0.html[/url]

When I popped my Radeon 9200 in my Current computer for shits and giggles, aero worked. It even got a score of 2! (Its a DX8.1 card).

You need a DX9 capable graphics card to run aero.

Are you sure it wasn't a 9500 or something? The only DX8.1 graphics cards in the 9 series were 9000-9200, others were DX9 shader model 2.

[i_speel_good]

I have an ati mobility radeon 9800 on my laptop but aero won't work...
Maybe the problem is that it's a laptop card.

So you bought windows 7 ultimate, but can't even afford a proper gpu? :raise:

He didn't say he bought it.
His name is probably relevant.

Quite sure, I've had the card in my old computer since 2004.
