Coulor scheme not working

[Guest]

I installed vista without a problem, with areo glass too, but when i go to
try and change the color of it or enable the glass. neither ok or cancel
work. and there are no preset tabs in it like i have seen in screenies.

im running a ATI Radeon 9200 familey pack
and a PIII 866 mhz
with 512 megs of ram

That's because your video card does not support Aero Glass. Are you sure
you're not just using Windows Vista Basic? With at least one window opened,
press the windows key + tab. Did you see Flip3D show up? If not, you're
not running Aero Glass. You supposedly need a Radeon 9500 or NVIDIA FX5200
for Aero Glass.

Travis, where are you getting the info that Radeon 9500 or nVidia FX5200 are
the earliest supported cards? I think your source may be wrong.

then why do i still got areo enabled in my themes?

but thanks anyways

Aero is the theme. Glass is the special effects everybody talks about.

then why do i still got areo enabled in my themes?

Because there are two versions...Basic and Glass.

Simple way to tell is to move your mouse to the Maximize, Minimize and
Close buttons on a window. If they glow, you're using Aero Glass, if
not, you're using Aero Basic.

Winvista automatically enabled Glass if your hardware/drivers support
it.
