I am unable to use windows Aero or any thing requiring Direct3D. the device
manager says:

This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)

If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other
devices on this system.

Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and
to see if there is a solution available.
