I have been using Windows Vista Ultimate x64 on this machine for about 4
months with no problems. Last week I had a crash that led me to clean
install it all over again. Now I just see that Windows Aero scheme is gone.
It doesn't appear on the list under Apearence Settings.
I noticed that going to Performance Information and Tools gives me a rate of
1.0 (which I think is untrue, my hardware specs are below). I tried
reinstalling my graphic card and sound cards with no success. Even tried
that registry tweak (set HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\Composition = 1
and HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\Composition Policy = 2) with no
results.
I noticed this 1.0 rate is determined by Gaming Graphics (1.0) followed by
Graphics (1.9) which I believe is too low for the hardware I have. After
Update My Score, I click on View And Print Details and I notice that windows
hasn't detected Total Available Graphic Memory nor Dedicated Graphics Memory
nor Shared System Memory. BIOS gives me 3 graphic memory sharing options:
64mb, 128mb and 256mb. Tried the three of them.
Again, before I had to reinstall Windows Vista, it was running perfectly on
the very same machine.
Any help will be apreciated.
Hardware Specs:
