Areo is not even an option!!!

[Carlo Razzeto]

Hey there, I'm running 64bit Vista RC 2 on the following configuration:

Athlon64 X2 3800+
Geforce 7800GT
2GB Memory (Dual Channel)
50GB Partition of a 300GB hard drive
SoundBlaster Audigy (with 10/11/06 build drivers)
Latest available forceware installed

For some reason, Areo is on even available as a vista color scheme! The
closest I have is Vista Basic. Anyone else having this issue? Anyone know
how to resolve this issue? This system is more than capable for rendering
Areo, I'm rather shocked that RC2 64b is not even allowing it as an option.
The 32bit build (that I just deleted of the same partition) allowed Areo. Is
this a bug with either the 64bit build or perhaps nVida's drivers?

Have you installed nVidia's web drivers?
If so roll back to the original drivers thru device manager, and all will be
well.
Then uninstall thur control panel the nVidia installation.

It's been my experience that Areo won't be an option unless under display
properties you have the setting on 32 bit.

In Help and Support search for glass, and it will give step by step
instructions for turning on and confirming that Aero Glass is enabled.

Carlo,

Do you have the latest Nvidia drivers
(http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_downloads_rel70betadriver.html)?

Make sure you have 32 bit color selected as stated below.
