What the heck?

[Qinan]

I've been installed Windows Vista build 5384 and RC1, and I can easily get
the glass Aero with my ATI MOBILITY RADEON XPRESS 200 graphics card, but I
can't in Windows Vista RC2. What the heck is wrong? Which seem to be the
problem, me or Microsoft?

You need to force it for RC2 depending on the amount of RAM you have
installed in the system:

Tip by Nero:
1/ Ensure that you have the following registry value set to :

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\Composition set to 1 (32-bit DWORD)

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\CompositionPolicy set to 2 (32-bit
DWORD)

2/ Restart DWM by opening a command prompt with administrative privileges :

- Type 'net stop uxsms'
- Then 'net start uxsms'

(to get Aero Glass in vista)

can this work with a nvidia Ti 4200 ???

Not unless its Direct 9 compliant and supports the WDDM driver model. XDDM
drivers will not work.

Do you have the RC drivers from ATI?

I would start here first, instead of resorting to registry hacks.
