aero glass ? Need some help.

[Neal]

Ok I have read a little about Aero glass and did a search but I can not find
the info on it on my PC. What is getting to me is I can not find out if I
have it turned on or not. Right now my theme is Vista and I have a PC
rating of 3. I have a BNG 6800OC. Right now it is not OC past the system
specs. The weird part is that I can not run 1024x768 with 32 bit turned on
I can only do it with 16bit turned on. So that is kind of getting to me
because I can do 800x600 with 32 bit. I do not know if this might be the
issue but I can not see drivers for my NEC 17" CRT monitor. I am not sure
if that is why I can not turn on 32 bit since it is just a windows driver.

Thanks for any help

If its running at 16-bit, you don't have AERO Glass. I would check nVidia's
website to see if they have the latest beta 2 drivers for your video card.
If you are still experiencing the resolution issue, right click your desktop

click Personalize > click "Display Settings > Advanced Settings..." >

under "Adapter" > click "List All Modes..." > select an appropriate Refresh
rate running at 1024 by 768, click OK > OK.

Did you update the drivers from Nvidia's site? There not great, but they
may improve things.

The monitor does not matter. If you have an LDDM driver from nVidia
installed you should have Aero Glass.

I have installed Vista on 4 different computers now. In each case, if the
hardware was capable, glass was automatically "enabled" upon the first
appearance of the desktop.
