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?

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?

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.
Best Regards,

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.

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.

R5770 Hawk and Win7 aero effects

Just purchased used R5770 Hawk and after installing latest drivers and catalyst panel have lost Windows7 Aero glass effects.
Replaced the card w/my previous (Nvidia 9800GT) and Aero re-appeared. Reinstalled the 5770 and don't seem to be able to get Aero.
Searched and searched and it looks like I might be the only person to experience this.
Can anyone help? Is it a setting?

Use >>Driver Fusion<< in Safe Mode to remove current VGA drivers.
Then install latest drivers from MSI: http://www.msi.com/product/vga/R5770-Hawk.html#/?div=Driver&os=Win7%2064
Try again

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.

Vista Aero on Macbook Pro

Hello,
I just installed the Vista Enterprise on my Macbook Pro 17", no problems during the installation, but I don't have the Aero effect. Did someone had the same problem? Any help apreciated.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Some virtualization environments have better support for the graphics chip built-in to the Mac than others. Try a different one to see if it works better. The effect most likely is graphics driver dependent, much the same way Mac OS X Core Graphics is. There are these virtualization solutions available for the Mac*:

Aero Flip 2D stopped working

The Aero Flip 2D does not work anymore although the Flip 3D does . When I press Alt+Tab I only see the classic list of active tasks:
And I cannot use the directional keys to select a task.
Facts about the problem:
Only one user account is affected.
The Desktop Composition is active .
Ctrl + Alt + Tab does not work.
Ctrl + Win + Tab works and shows the Flip 3D .
All other Aero effects work well: Flip 3D, Snap, Shake, Peek, ...
Verifications that have already been made:
$> chkdsk /f c:
Aero troubleshooting.
$> sfc /verifyonly
$> gpedit.msc . Nothing prevents Aero from working properly.
All the relevant services are active: DWM, Themes.
$> eventvwr -> Logs -> Application. The Desktop Windows Manager did not generate any important events related to the problem.
None of the verifications above has detected any problem.
I have been using Desktops 2.0 since a few weeks ago. Deactivating Desktops did not solve the problem .
I will only create another user account as a last resort, so I hope someone can help me.
To informatize is necessary; follow me the good.

aharrell905,
I'm sorry to hear about your phone! It does appear that there may have been a hardware concern happen. We likely have several options, including the manufacturer warranty. The warranty covers these sort of situations for 12 months after the original purchase of the device. The account may have an available upgrade, too! If you need assistance with reviewing your account for options, please direct message me.
Thank you!

Vista/Win7 - Using Aero for more than window decoration?

I was wondering if it's possible to use the 'glass' effect in java as found under Windows Vista and 7.
For example, windows explorer uses the glass effect for more than just the window decoration, there is also a bit below the titlebar containing the addressfield/navigation buttons/searchbar.
Is it possible to create something similar looking in Java? I realise this will kill off multi-platform support, but that can be worked around in other ways.
So far I've discovered that the dwmapi is needed to access the feature, but I'm unable to find a java implementation of it and don't have the knowledge to write my own.
So are are any libraries out there for this purprose, or does anyone have a simple example?
[edit]
Well if someone has the time/motivation to port it from another language,

Edited by: Axeia on Jan 9, 2010 4:17 AM

so that's C++, VB and C# so far, still haven't found how to do it in java.Thats correct, if you want Vista aero effects only in your application, then you have to turn to platform specific languages like C#.
For java, you can make your own effects. So, what is your goal? using Vista Aero or making a good looking application?
For learning how to make good looking applications in java, one of the best books is ' [Filthy Rich Clients|http://filthyrichclients.org/] '. It discusses how you can make use of java libraries like Swing, Java2D, Java3D, animation libraries, etc. to develop nice applications. Check the examples given at the site (I like the StackLayout example). They made a 'Filthy Rich Client' also, called Aerith. (Check this)
I remember this book also discusses how you can achieve blurry translucent (Vista like) effect for Swing dialog. Its source is given on the same site, I also found its source here. So you can try it out, and check how java's aero looks like ;-)
Andrew gave you the link of the article about translucent Frames, I would like to mention that newly released JavaFX makes making translucent(transparent) frames more easier. Please check [this out.|http://javafx.com/samples/SwirlingSquares/index.html] And yes, JavaFX makes your application look really cool without much effort (I have not yet learned it, just saw the demos). You can also try out the demos of JavaFX here.
So, its up to you, Java can make your application look good, but without making use of Vista Aero.
Thanks!

Cannot enable Vista Aero on Satellite L300-15v with Intel CPU

I installed Vista for my Satellite L300-15v which i bought without system.
I can't set HIGHER memory for the graphics ( shared ) memory which is between 0 and 256.
Please notify me how to do this and whether this is the reason why Aero effects doesn't work *or my pc doesn't meet the minimum requirements*.
note: L300 is 2.13 celeron | graphics: Intel 965 - GMA X3100 , 2GB of Ram
thanks in advance

Hi
Firstly you should check if your Vista version would support Aero.
Windows Vista Home Basic doesnt support Aero.
So you need a higher version of Vista to use such feature
Please also check this Microsoft page: [Troubleshoot problems with Windows Aero|http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/c33fe91a-9e6f-41f4-ae82-3ed2d5fa2fbf1033.mspx#EZD]

Firefox kills aero in Win 7 when playinf full screen flash videos.

I have recently installed nvidia 3d vision on my compoter. now when I click on a fullscreen button when watching flash videos like YT, the aero effect in Win 7 is disabled and does no return untill I turn FF off. FF4 and 3.6 has the same problem. Everything is OK in other browsers. I tried to disable the 3d vision plugins but it does not help.

Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.
See:
