Video Card/Aero Glass

[Guest]

Right now my video card wont support aero glass, if i get a card that does
support it, will i have to re-install Vista to see the effects or will it
automatically show Aero Glass in the Visual Apperance area of Vista?

Thanks,

No. When you boot up Vista it will discover the new device and install the
driver. If Vista does not have a driver you will need to download it from
the manufacturer's website and point the device installer to the folder
where you downloaded the file. Be sure to check for a Vista driver before
buying the card.

Should happen automatically. Glass appears if the hardware and the drivers
are up to snuff.

Depends, some newer cards that are fully capability but don't have a driver
don't automatically load on first boot with Glass. If you don't Glass on
first boot, just check the manufacturers website for updates.
