Can't use Aero on Vista

I just used boot camp to create a windows partition, i installed windows vista and the boot camp drivers, but now aero doesn't work...
Oh and i don't know why, BF2 doesn't want to install i think it has something to do with the above

After all i can use Aero but Vista doesn't boot with it... i have to turn it on...

  • I have windows vista home premium phot shop elements 6 recent repairs deleted program and even with now I can not even find a p. elements that can be used with w.vista..... HELP

    Any ideas??? Have windows vista home premuim and can not find a phot shop that will work with it.

    You can download a free trial version for PSE 10, 11 or 12 from this link:
    <Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10>
    You can use this trial version for 30 days after which you will need to buy a boxed version from Amazon and use the serial number from the box to activate your trial version.
    If, however, you complete your project in the next 30 days then you don't need to buy anything.  Money saved for something else.
    Good luck.

  • 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,

    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!

  • The computer I use for Itunes only has XP so I can't use ICloud. My desktop has Vista so I can use it. But I don't want to lose all of what I have on my Iphone 4S and my two Ipads. How can I use the desktop and retain the apps, music, podcasts etc. I have

    The computer I use for Itunes (my laptop) only has XP so I can't use ICloud:(
    I have a desktop that operates using with Vista.
    I downloaded 10.5 and sought to sync my two iphones and two ipads with the desktop in order to use ICloud. However I got warning messages that if I synced with this computer that had none of my extensive library of apps, music, podcasts, etc. would be on it, I would lose it all.
    I did authorize the computer. I knew enough to do that but am terrified that I will lose everything that I have accumulated and still won't be able to use ICloud.
    Isn't there a way to do this? Shift my library FROM my devices to the desktop?
    Thanks

    This is a tedious solution, which is stupid!  And some users report an inability to reauthorize a computer after an "en masse” deauthorization.  I can’t believe Apple doesn’t provide a list or menu to find out which computers you’ve authorized! Obviously, APPLE knows (or else they couldn’t tell us how many computers we have authorized)--so why can’t they give us access to that information about our own computers??!!!
    And for an already-authorized computer with a hard drive that’s since been replaced and upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, would it be recognized as a “new computer” and require authorization? Would its previous incarnation (i.e., with the old hard drive and OS) be considered a separate computer? Some users report they can’t authorize a computer after an OS upgrade because of that. Can’t believe we have to do such a bass-ackwards kludge!

  • Can I use my 2TB WD My Book Essential for the Time Machine feature on the MacBook as well as two other Windows computers (one running 7 and one with Vista)?

    Can I use my 2TB WD My Book Essential for the Time Machine feature on the MacBook as well as to store information from two other Windows computers (one running 7 and one with Vista)?

    Yes you can but you need to partition the drive into at least 2 separate drives.
    To do that you need to use a Windows PC to do the first partitioning. Say you split the drive into two partitions each 1TB (or close to 1TB) each.
    Partition fand format both partitions on a Win PC as one NTFS and the other FAT32.
    Then move it to the Mac and Reformat the FAT32 partition Mac Extended (Journaled) with a GUID Partition Table.
    I have that same drive and that is what I did originally with it. I now have it just for the Mac as I have other externals for the Win systems.
    Good Luck.

    Hi:
    You can probably downgrade your Vista notebook to XP, but you don't have a license (downgrade rights) to do that from Microsoft. 
    Normally, only business notebooks and desktops were given downgrade rights to XP due to the risk of companies operations grinding to a halt because of software incompatiblities with some programs and Vista.
    Personally, it would be better anyway to move on up to Windows 7.
    Since your notebook came with Vista, it can run Windows 7. For any missing drivers you may have you can normally use the Vista drivers on your notebook's support and driver page.
    Additionally, you may want to read through this dv2000 upgrade guide for Windows 7.

  • Drivers/Utilities CD..XP and VISTA..can I use vista for WIN7 64 bit install?

    Drivers/Utilities CD's, that came with the p-35 Motherboard..XP and VISTA..can I use Vista for WIN7 64 bit install, or download the chip set drivers for Awin7 BEFORE the OS install??
    MSI P-35 Platinum
    Q6600 Core 2 Quad
    Presently XP 32Bit
    NVidia geforce 8600GT
    8GB DDR2 SDRAM PC6400-800MHz
    Windows 7..waiting to be installed.
    Hello,
    I WANT TO DO A CLEAN INSTALL.I have Windows 32 Home XP, I have the Win7 OEM I want to install.
    When i bought my MSI mobo, it came with both the drivers and utilities for XP and Vista.   Can I use the chip set drivers and utilities for Vista, until i can go to MSI and download the latest chip set drivers?  When do i install these drivers....before the OS install, or after?
    Can I format these drives first, go in the BIOS change to boot sequence from Raptor Boot Drive to the DVD/Rom to boot the WIN7 from, or should I format while installing Win7?  
    Someone on another forum suggested that 1) disconnect the two droves, then install the OS on the boot drive, and2) before win7 install, make the proposed boot drive (NOT THE DVD/CD ROM the first choice priority for the boot sequence....is this right?
    Is it absolutely necessary to unplug the other two drives, while formatting and installing the WIN7 O.S.?  People tell me that there is a chance of the OS installing sometimes on the other drives.
    Also, if I want to change the now present boot drive Local disk letter (C) to my storage drive (G) and the other two drive letters, can I do this in manage disks, anytime, or only during windows setup install?
    Thx

      I've never had this much trouble hooking up a HDD.
           I have two IDE DVD/CD ROMS.  (My RAID MODE was IDE in XP OS, and still is with WIN7.)
           I have three SATA HDD's.
    After unplugging the SATA 2TB HDD while I installed the WIN7 OS on the 500 GB HDD (it was on the 74 RAPTOR, but I moved location, and made absolutly sure nothing went on my raptor)
      So today I decided to re-hook up the 2TB Storage HDD, and when I did, I went into bios,and to the cell menu, and LOAD ALL DEFAULT SETTINGS, so it could see my newly installed HDD,which I had all my backup Data from the previous HDD. I also checked and the RAID MODE was IDE, and the boot sequence was the WDC 500GB Boot/OS drive, rebooted,then I got that annoying blanked out screen with that blinking cursor, so I got back into the bios,and changed the 1st boot to the IDE Pioneer DVD/CD ROM, 2nd boot to the 500GB HDD, and rebooted again..still got that blinking cursor.
    I opened up the Mobo, checked and replugged all SATA, and power cables to the three HDDS, tried it again,then still got the blinking cursor.  Seems no matter what I change in the boot sequence,it never wants to boot properly
    ....AND THEN,
     I started with TAB > POST> started WINDOWS, then once it opened up, I went to manage Disks, saw all three HDDs were online and healthy.  Win. Explorer also listed them in that folder, in device manager, it listed all three too.
     The managed window showed this:
    74GB    (system,active,Primary partition)                       Storage
    2TB     (Primary partition)                                           Excessive Storage
    500GB  (Boot, page files,crash-Dump, Primary partition)   Operating system
    Both the PCI IDE BusMaster and ON-Chip SATA Controller were both ENABLED.
    Before I just got online, I tried RESTART, and it opened Windows the usual way,  so I hope I don't have any more problems. It worked fine BEFORE I just plugged in the 2TB HDD back in.
    I pretty much did what everyone suggested,except for leaving in the 74GB Raptor when I installed WIN7, which prompted me to format the drive prior to installing the OS.  Also, when I changed the IDE, RAID,and AHC1, to the AHC1 Mode, just before I installed Window7, like a few suggested, I also had problems, so after the install, I went back and changed it back to IDE.  My Floppy was an IDE, but I removed it from my system, and disabled in BIOS, but even a few times I went into Bios and saw that thje floppy was 1st Boot, even though I changed to either the DVD/CD Rom, or the 500GB boot drive.            
    So what is the preferred boot sequence?

    I'm not able to get the microphone input to work on my XFI card as has been reported by other people on this forum. Looks like recording may work only under Vista apps directly from your note but not with any 3d party applications such as Yahoo & Team Speak.
    In my case - similar to the fact that 5. works under Vista's built in audio control panel but so far none of the 3d party (games/MP3/video) will stream back audio in anything other than 2..

  • 64 bit Vista-should I return new computer since I can't use Z22 or E2?

    I've read enough to realize there is no compatibility with the new 64 bit systems; I'm no geek (don't even know what 64 bit means) but I know I need my Palm info; I didn't want to go with Vista but didn't have a choice that I'm aware of; just purchased an HP Touchscreen and tried to hotsync and I guess you guys know the rest; is there another OS out there that I can transfer my Palm OS to and just buy a new device?  If not, what am I to do if I need a new computer?  Please help, as I'm scared and confused and tired.  Thanks in advance, as always!
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    64-bit Windows lets you use more memory in your computer (more than 4GB). Vista-64 also has some additional security features. Microsoft has laid out the differences here:
    A description of the differences between 32-bit versions of Windows Vista and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946765
    If you can easily exchange for a computer with 32-bit Vista, that probably will help with other compatiblity issues as well. If not, I think I have read here that you can sync using Bluetooth instead of a USB cable. Do you know whether your new HP has Bluetooth?
