Aero Effects in Windows 7?

Hey, so I have a macbook pro 2010 13 inch. and i recently installed windows 7 ultimate using bootcamp and installed the windows support software downloaded by bootcamp utility (I installed OSX Lion). however, it seems I still cannot get the aero effects to work in windows 7. even though the drivers are all installed properly! help please? anyone? any help appreciated! thanks!

Should be able to repair/reinstall the driver disc, then fill in any gaps using Windows Update.
Run the WinSAT afterward (Computer > System properties, look for System rating).

X3100 does not support Aero effects on Windows 7 (VMware Fusion)?

It is a shame that from the moment apple moved on from Intel GMA X3100 chipset to the newest Nvidia 9400, drivers are not being developed so that Win 7 users on Vmware can have the full OS experience regarding the Aero effects. Certainly, I did not expect to do any hardcore gaming when I purchased my macbook, but to feel that a little over a year after I spent 1,150 euros, this machine in terms of graphics is somewhat obsolete or just old to say the least is just infuriating. I am only hoping that if enough people happen to have the same feeling of disappointment and post it, they'll think it over and they'll provide us with some sort of drivers update to our X3100 graphics card in order to be albe to run Aero effects on our virtual machine.
Don't you guys think it would be just a fair thing to do for your customers?

T420s not getting Windows 7 Aero effect with newest 8.15.10.2769 Intel HD Graphics driver

Updated with the lenovo update tool to the newes Graphics driver.
Now i do not see the Aero effect in Windows 7.
My Machine: 4170CTO with Intel Graphics
When running the Win7 Aero effect troubleshooting tool it says that the "color depth is set too low".
When trying to open up the Intel graphics panel it will not show the GUI.
Opening the Lenovo ThinkVantage tool it will not show on the screen as well.
And the PC is slower.
I am happy to roll back to a previous driver version, however do not know how to get access to one.
Thanks, R.

Hey Robohofo,
I'm glad you were able to fix your computer, though its never fun to have to do a Clean wipe to get an issue fixed. Though I know this is late maybe if you come across this issue again one other thing you could do is Un-install the driver and then Re-install it.

Windows Aero Effects

Hi everyone :)
My problem is that the Aero effects are not working. Currently, windows is running Windows 7 basic theme. The problem occurred on 9th of January 2015 when I was downloading a file and several problems happened (the file wouldn't download, the laptop became
slower), i figured it might have been a virus so i ran an antivirus and system cleaner but still that didn't solve the problem. My laptop is running Windows 7 Ultimate and is up for the minimum system requirements and the Aero effects were working perfectly
fine before.
I tried many solutions but none of them worked, including :-
1- Trying to restart Desktop Window Manager which didn't change a thing.
2- Tried running the troubleshooting wizard which pointed out the problem (Desktop Window Manager is disabled) but was useless when it came to actually solve the problem.
3- System restore which restored my laptop's settings to 9th Jan 2015 (and that was the furthest thing it could return to) but the problem was still there.
4- I tried updating my Intel graphic driver.
5- I tried many other solutions which were presented on this thread: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/a5ec19b3-4cea-43ab-8ca8-509ef60578b4/windows-aero-no-longer-worksfixed
I ran out of options and i'm considering doing a format but i'm not sure if this is gonna fix the problem or not. Are there other solutions I can try? Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance :)

Hi,
Based on my research, this problem can also relate with these Windows componments and settings below:
1. Register the following dll files
            Regsvr32 udwm.dll
            Regsvr32 milcore.dll
2. Group Policy, make sure following policy was disabled or unconfigured
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Desktop WindowManager\ "Do not allow desktop composition"
3. Check the following registry keys:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\Composition                   set to 1
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\CompositionPolicy           set to 2
4. Download and Install latest Java Runtime Environment from
http://www.java.com/en/
If problem persists, maybe we have to make system restore to revert your system to a former normal time point to fix this problem.

[Solved] After watching several youtube html5 720p videos, Firefox (version 33) display or screen turns black and aero transparency in windows 7 turns opaque.

Hello ! I just want to share something familiar with that black display or screen occurs for some people. When I watch youtube videos, I used to watch them in html5 720p videos (not flash videos, https://www.youtube.com/html5 ). I upgraded firefox to version 33. No black display when I used it. Randomly and after watching several html5 videos on youtube, aero transparency in my windows 7 turns opaque and firefox display goes all black. Firefox doesn't respond at any command. I need to kill his process in task manager in order to close it. When I open firefox again, normal display goes. To relaunch aero transparency in windows 7, I need to restart the service whose name is, I think, "Desktop Window Manager Session Manager". I use windows 7 in french and the service name is "Gestionnaire de sessions de Gestionnaire de fenetrage".
To solve this, I upgraded my graphic driver but this didn't work. I tried to put "layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled" to false in "about:config" menu. No random black display but some html elements turned black for some seconds or definitely when firefox rendered web pages. I tried to uncheck "Use hardware acceleration when available" in options menu. No random black display but html5 720p videos didn't play smoothly.
Then, I chose to watch youtube 720p videos again with flash player and no random black display and html5 720p videos played normally.
Here are my graphic acceleration infos :

I hope this will be useful to solve this problem in future versions or to someone.

This is happening to me too, I don't know if this is an Adobe Flash Player 11.5's bug or it's just my computer. All my browsers, chrome, IE9, Fox, doesn't even load anime videos. I tried reinstalling 11.5 many times, it have no effect but I use IE9 64-bit to run the videos that couldn't run. I waited 25 min for a JW player to load an episode of anime and I'm sick of it.

I have a t61 thinkpad and after update to w7 ultimate I can't get aero effects

I have tried everything and I can't get aero effects to work. I updated all of the graphics drivers, and anything else the internet had to offer and I got nothing. There is a possibility though. I have a windows old folder from all the files I had from xp. Would that affect it? If not other suggestions?

Hello,
What is the model type of your ThinkPad T61? That should be on a label on the bottom of the unit and look something like 1234-ABC.
Try running the ThinkVantage System Update software followed by the Microsoft Update to make sure the system is up-to-date with respect to all ThinkPad-specific software as well as any Windows 7 components, including optional and low-priority updates. After all those are complete, are you then able to switch Aero effects on for graphics?

Vista Aero Effect

Hi, I restored my W500 back to factory content, and found out the Aero effect, which gives the windows and taskbar a transparent look, is gone. I went to "window color and appearance," but I could not find a color scheme that says "Windows Vista Aero." Since it worked before I restored it, It's obviously not the hardware's problem. What is it then? Thanks all.

[svn:fx-trunk] 10898: Fix for a bug: After playing a hide effect, a window wouldn't be visible again.

Fix for a bug: After playing a hide effect, a window wouldn't be visible again.
The issue here is that all effects that occur because of HIDE end up calling setVisible() (see EffectManager.effectEndHandler). Window/WindowedApplication was basically left with two concepts of setVisible...the displayObject one and the native application one, and they were out of synch. So setting visible=true on the window wasn?\226?\128?\153t calling setVisible(true) which controls the display object visibility. Now instead of doing our work in the visible setter, we override setVisible() and do it in there.

I run Suse 9.1 Linux, and Suse has a package called lmsensors which by default on my machine gives readings like this:
Code: [Select]
temp1: +27°C (high = +0°C, hyst = +22°C) sensor = thermistor
temp2: +41.0°C (high = +80°C, hyst = +75°C) sensor = PII/Celeron diode
Now that 41C is pretty high for an idle AMD643000+ running at 1000Mhz, 1.08V. Too high, I would say. temp 1 in this case is the SYS temp, temp2 is the CPU temp.
Now, using lmsensors I can duplicate your little trick and tell it that temp 2 is in fact a 3904 transistor. Having done this can I get readings like this:
Code: [Select]
temp1: +27°C (high = +0°C, hyst = +22°C) sensor = thermistor
temp2: +16.0°C (high = +80°C, hyst = +75°C) sensor = 3904 transistor
Problem is, I'm not sure that the sensor is actually a 3904 transistor! The number's lower, but I was pretty sure that the sensor in the AMD64 is in fact a diode. Also, surely the CPU temp can't actually be that much lower than the SYS temp.
So, I think your fix succeeds in giving lower temps and that's great in that it will tell your system software that the CPU is not overheating, but I don't think it's the solution to high temp reporting. Anyway, as you say, its a solution for people who can't run with system shutdowns due to bogus high temps.
I've been looking at these temp issues with the MSI K8T, and I was thinking the problem was simply a miscalibration. The Winbond sensor chip on my board (maybe the K8N is the same, maybe not) has a sensor temp offset that gets added to the temp coming from the sensor. On the K8T this number is +54C. Funny number I know, but I've "fixed" the problem while I wait for a real bios fix on the K8T by simply reducing this offset to give me a CPU temp that matches SYS temp when idle. This enables cool'n'quiet fan control to work properly on my system, which is my main practical concern.

Have keyframes in effect controls window coincide with main time line

Hello,
Is there any way I can have the time line in my effects control window coincide with my main time line ?
Example, I add keyframes along my main time line, but any time I wish to edit them, I need to scrub my effect controls window timeline to get to that
spot that coincides on the main time line. I'm just wondering how I can have both time lines show the same area at the same time.
So if I'm at the end of my time line, and add a keyframe, and then wish to just scrub or move my cursor to the beginning of my main time line, the
time line in the upper window ( effects control window ) does not reflect the area of the main time line I am currently at, I need to actually click the time time
line ( main time line ) in order to "refresh" the upper effect control window time line.
Thanks for any advice,
Dave.

Hi Jim,
that's what I mean, thanks for info. I guess this isn't a popular want from users, I just thought it would be neat if we could do this, it's not a big deal, but I thought
I would ask. Thanks for the informatiion - at least I know now.

In CS4 this happens by default. Has that changed for CS5?

Vector Art Crashes After Effects CS3 Windows 7

Hi there,
I've noticed that AFX CS3 always crashes when I try to use Vector Art effects on Windows 7. I'm able to turn on the effect, but when I start painting, it always crashes after a few seconds. Any idea how to prevent this crash? I love vector art.
thanks..

Solved this problem on my computer by running After Effects in compatibility mode.
My setup is different than the original post, but hopefully it will help someone else.
Here's my problem and how I fixed it...
System: Windows Vista
After Effects CS4
Vector Paint
After drawing a a third small line, AfterFX would lock up and the screen would go semi transparent. Turning Open GL settings didn't help.
Closed AfterFX, and righ-clicked on the After Effects shortcut. Chose Properties->Shortcut tab->Compatibility->Checked "Run this program in compatibily mode for "Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
All other settings left unchecked.
Hit OK.
Relaunch AfterFX and the Vector Paint effect works great now!

Report on next effective maintenance window

Hi all
I'm having a problem with this custom function/report posted on TechNet while back for ConfigMgr 2007
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/7870.sccm-2007-create-report-of-upcoming-maintenance-windows-by-client.aspx
I've made the needed changes according to this blog post:
https://sccmfaq.wordpress.com/2013/08/22/sccm-2012-show-next-effective-maintenance-window/
..but when using maintenance windows that occurs for example 1st tuesday of every 1 months, the function returns the date week ahead. For example now (on 26th of Feb) next maintenance window should be on Tuesday March 3rd, but instead the report is showing
Tuesday March 10th.
Any help on modifying the function would be appreciated, I saw that there comments on the original post about the recurrence type 4 (monthly by weekday as noted here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc143300.aspx) not working correctly in the function.
Ideal solution for me would be that the clients report their next maintenance windows through hardware inventory, but I don't think that's possible.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Hi,
I recommend you post this question in SQL forum as modifying the function is very complicated.

Daniel_k we need microphone effects in windows 7 please

Hi please we need new driver support EAX Console & Microphone like Concert Hall effects in windows 7
Karaoke_feature1.jpg
my sound Card is creative Audigy SE SB0570
please if u can just add EAX Console & karaoke .
i try driver SB Audigy Series recompiled Install u made Unofficial When I try to install a window installation says that the card is not supported
i just want EAX console & karaoke & mixer to set what u hear .... please please i wait u

Heya
Im not 100% sure how Daniel is supposed to help you with this.
If he is an employee at Creative it mite be out of his control to add EAX Presets back into the creative control panel.
But speaking of which. I recently upgraded from my X-Fi Xtreme Gamer to a Z and I am extremely annoied that Creative decided to remove EAX presets like Jazz Club etc I really like the EQ but it would be better to have both and be able to use both at the same time.
I am still looking for alteritive software that will allow me to pick or set a effect that will give me the live sound for my music like Jazz Club
If these features your asking for where once there, use the last driver you had that had these features available
Uninstall your drivers this way to unsure that they are completely gone.
DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING FROM CREATIVE THAT YOU MAY NEED FOR YOUR SOUND CARD BEFORE UNINSTALLING, E.G WAVESTUDIO ETC
Close any programs that can make sound, even steam. (A message from a friend will play a unwanted sound when uninstalling the driver, part of the driver component will then be in use and may not be able to be removed) This is a Common cause of errors. Thats why it tells you to ensure every program is closed before installing and uninstalling.
Open Control Panel, Then At the top where its says View By click the small arrow pointing down on the right side of "View By" and select small icons, Then select Programs and Features,
Remove Everything that says Creative starting with Creative Control Panel,
Before Restarting your Pc
Open Control Panel, Then Select Device Manager,
In Device Manager click the arrow pointing right on the left of "Sound Video and Game Controllers"
Then right click your Creative Sound card if its still there after uninstalling everything from the creative uninstaller.
If its still there Right click your sound card and select Uninstall. When the window pops up "TICK" the check box saying "Delete All The Software For This Device" "DO NOT PERFORM THIS STEP FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Restart the computer and install the Original latest driver that had the funcions you desire.
I haven't proof read this to check for spelling mistakes so sorry if there is any lol

Windows Aero effects gets lost sometimes

While listening to Pandora, if I click forward to another song (or any other link) the browser loses the aero affects and the colors then become really washed out.

Also, this never happens in IE8 or the new beta of 9.

"Unable to create font" error when starting After Effects CS4 (Windows Vista)

Hi all
I have read a hundred posts about the "unable to create font" message that appears when running After Effects in both CS4 and CS5 versions.
On MAC, it seems that installing the Verdana fonts family is enough.
On my PC running Windows Vista, i tried unsuccessfully :
- uninstalled and reinstalled After Effects
- installed all the fonts of the Adobe Font Folio v11
- looked for the "AdobeFnt.lst" to delete it, found no such file in my whole hard drive
- changed my system language to English (USA)
Other CS4 softwares work.
What can i do?

See this page for some additional information about this error.
> I forgot to mention that i also installed the 9.0.2 update. Didn't work either!
You should also install the After Effects CS4 (9.0.3) update.
