Vista Aero on N500

does n500 support vista aero theme?
if support ... how to adjusted.
I use Vista Ultimate.
Sorry on my bad English.

If you can find aero option in the themes menu your system will support it.unlike other operating systems vista hides certain features like aero and flip 3d if they are not supported.
you may want to run the vista upgrade advisor and find out the results as well fo much more indepth information
Cheers and regards,

Windows Vista Aero theme - incompatible with iTunes?

Whenever I boot up my laptop I get an error saying iTunes is stopping my Vista Aero theme from showing. When I go to task manager and end the ituneshelper.exe module process, the Aero theme is then accessible.
I know the ituneshelper.exe is an important module to allow to run, but I really don't want it interfering with my Vista theme. Does anyone know of a fix for this? Help would be so much appreciated.

OK I figured out the problem:
I had installed Quicktime Alternative which screwed up iTunes since it requires the very newest version of Quicktime to be installed.
Moral of this story: Don't install Quicktime Alternative

Vista Aero Basic = Cursor Lag

I've had a extremely annoying photoshop issue for a very long time. I was hoping CS4 would eliminate this hideous bug but it's made it marginally worst.
My studio makes video games so we often work in 3ds Max 7 & photoshop simultaneously. 3ds Max doesn't work very well with Vista Aero enabled, so those of us with Vista run the Aero Basic scheme.
Photoshop CS3 & CS4 actually run way SLOWER in Aero Basic. You'll see this while zoomed in using the airbush. Even the cursor jumps across the screen without any tool being in use. If i change my cursor to 'standard' or 'precise' in the preferences the lag will go away.
There must be many others that have noticed this problem. Has it not been fixed because its not possible? No one figured out what causes it? Many users that want maximum performance out of their workstations will disable aero. I'm sure this is embarrassing for adobe because it effects very high end machines.
Please Adobe, fix this bug.
Running in full Aero Mode is VERY smooth but I cannot use that because i need Max running too.
I'm running on a Nvidia 9800GTX. Same problems on other earlier Nvidia cards too. No ATIs here.

Few games companies can afford to recompile plugins every time a new version of Max is released. Especially since in recent years Max hasn't provided significant features worth upgrading for.
Many games studios are still using older versions of Max; admittedly most are also still using XP. PS cursor problems are one of the reasons.
With all the bloated features added to PS over the years, this seems like a simple & important fix. It effects CS2, CS3 & CS4. Alot of our guys still use CS1 because the more recent PS versions are considered bloated & laggy.
Maybe a 'light' power user version for the furture is something to think about. CS4 is several GBs of god knows what. The Gimp is 25meg & improving.
I'm sure we don't need GBs of bloat & services forced upon us.

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.

Here is my problem, the MSI 660 Ti is performing the same, or worse, than my 260 GTX.
GTX 660 does not fit with your 6 years old config.
Your mainboard, processor and RAM are a bottleneck for your GPU.

Mac Pro with ATI Radeon HD2600, can't get Vista Aero to work

Hi from Newbie
I have a Mac Pro with Vista bootcamp installed, ATI Radeon HD2600, 512 mb of video ram, and 8 gb's of RAM, but I can't get Vista Aero mode to work. The driver doesn't specify WDDM, could this be the problem? Can I find a compatible driver elsewhere?
Thanks in advance.

You need to install drivers from ATI directly.
http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html
And when upgrading drivers, it helps to use Driver Sweeper and follow some recommended steps:

(applies to any driver but written with Nvidia in mind)
Of course to get full benefit of RAM, and power of your system, you need 64-bit version.

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*:

Vista Aero and MacBook

Hello! I'm running Vista Ultimate using BootCamp on my MacBook. Even thought the systems requirements seem to support it, I can't seem to get Aero to work. Any suggestions? Thanks!

You may not meet the RAM requirement would be first guess.

Sql Developer compatible problem with Vista aero

My computer is Vista Ultimate x64 en-US. I have downloaded Sql Developer from here
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/sql/index.html
When I run it, the aero glass effect turn off automatically, When I close the sql developer, the aero turn on again.
Why does this happen? Does Oracle offer vista compatible version of sql developer?
Thank you for any information.

Thank you for the response.
But my laptop support Vista and later version of Windows only. That mean xp/2003 cannot be installed. I am a WPF supporter who need aero glass effect. So Vista or Win 7 with all effect turn on is necessary for me.
My current solution is to change style to classic when I use sql developer, and change it back when I support WPF customer.
Thank you for your answer and your time to response.
Sincerely,
Kira Qian

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]

Windows Vista / Aero on my Equium M70

Hi. I have just downloaded Windows Vista RC1 for my M70 that I only bought a couple of months ago from Curry's. It has the Vista capable sticker on it and the salesperson confirmed that Vista will run properly with the 3D enhancements.
Of course I want to have the full experiance of Windows Vista. Yet Windows Aero will not work on my machine because of the graphics card: Mobile Intel(R) 82915GM/GMS/910GML. I have not bothered installing the basic version yet. I have done some research for the past few hours. The hardware meets Vista's requirements yet it is the Intel driver that needs to be updated and Intel have not released the driver as yet. I have e-mailed them regarding this and they said that it is not their policy to release information regarding software that may or may not be in the works. They also pointed out that Vista has not officially been released yet.
All I want to know is, will Intel release a driver to make my machine/chipset compatible with Windows Aero, even after Vista has been oficially released? It has seriously got on my nerves that my notebook I have spent so much on may not be up to scratch.
Please help!

Hi
I have found this info on one of the Toshiba European websites about Vista.
The "Windows Vista Capable" designation is given to Windows Vista Capable Toshiba notebooks that fulfill the minimum requirements below. Toshiba notebooks with the Vista Capable logo can be upgraded to support the Windows Vista operating system.
A Windows Vista Capable notebook includes at least:
- A modern CPU
- 512 MB or more of system memory
- A graphics processor that is DirectX 9 capable
All Windows Vista Capable notebooks will be able to run at least the core experiences of Windows Vista. To enjoy the complete Windows Vista experience, including the Windows Aero user experience, ask for a Windows Vista Capable notebook that is designated Premium Ready.
The "Windows Vista Premium Ready" designation is given to a Windows Vista Capable notebook that meets the minimum recommended requirements for Home Premium, Ultimate, Business or the Enterprise edition of Windows Vista.
Features available in specific premium editions of Windows Vista, such as the ability to watch and record live TV, may require additional hardware.
- 1 GHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
- 1 GB of system memory
- Support for DirectX 9 graphics with a WDDM driver, 128 MB of graphics memory (minimum), Pixel Shader 2.0 and 32 bits per pixel
- 40 GB of hard drive capacity with 15 GB free space
- DVD-ROM Drive
- Audio output capability
- Internet access capability
As mentioned the Vista is not official on the market and if you need any drivers for Vista you have to wait until the Vista will be official released

Macbook with Vista Aero + Vista versions

Hi, I've been a long time PC user but I'm about to purchase the 13-inch (white) 2.0ghz macbook model with 2gb ram. I have a few questions:
a) Macbook and Aero; does it run since macbook doesn't use a dedicated vid card? Are there any driver issues involved here?
b) Is it possible to install vista home premium (non-upgrade OEM) under bootcamp?
Many thanks for your help.

While the MacBook does not have a dedicated video card it does have a a dedicated video processor; the Intel GMA 950 / 945, which is capable of DirectX 9.0c and hence Aero. Apple's Boot Camp software provides BIOS emulation, allowing any version of Windows to run, as well as partitioning your hard drive without loss of data (non-destructive). Boot Camp will also burn a CD with drivers for the hardware within your MacBook (not ordinarily supported by Windows). I've found it to be unreliable as far as bluetooth is concerned running Windows XP. Windows Vista Advisor software indicates that those drivers will work fine with any 32-bit version of Windows Vista.

Upgraded to Vista Ultimate 3000 n500

Hello,
I have a lenovo n500 3000 4223 53u laptop. I went from XP to Vista Ultimate and I am having trouble installing drivers for this. I have gone to help and support for the drivers and I believe I have installed the correct drives but I am still having problems. The biggest issue is Wireless internet. I have tried to install those drivers but they are not working so I have no wireless internet. Is there something I can download that would help me (all in one package?).
Thanks.

Check version of Vista Ultimate. Is it x32 or x64. Because there are no drivers for x64 OS

Vista Aero Glass Effect in Swing

Hi,
How can I make my JFrames transparent like windows media player in vista? Is it possible?

seams to work with GDIpipline and this trick:
JPanel cp = new JPanel(){
public void paint(Graphics g)
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
Composite oc = g2d.getComposite();
g2d.setComposite(AlphaComposite.Clear);
g2d.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
g2d.setComposite(oc);
g2d.setComposite(AlphaComposite.Src);
super.paint(g2d);
cp.setOpaque(false);
jf.setContentPane(cp);but D3Dpipeline still draws it's gray background or a black one with the trick above

The bookmarks themselves exist. How can I put them back in the drop-down menu I have from Vista-Aero theme ?

This happens when I start Firefox (v. 3.6.28) from desktop. I ussually start it from quick launch. I have a star shaped button, top left, that works like a drop-down menu for my bookmarks. But now there's only a small window there, and the bookmarks do not appear anymore. They are stored in the Bookmarks>>Unsorted bookmarks tab. But how the hell do I get them to the drop menu ?
Did I mention that Restore doesn't ....... do anything ?
Also I haven't changed any settings in the last 2 weeks.

Staying with Firefox 3.6 is both EXTREMELY Insecure (you are vulnerable to almost every hole on [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html] since Firefox 12), and you are using a version that is significantly slower, doesn't support modern web technology, and has known bugs (crashes, freezes, etc.). If it's just the UI you don't like, you can quickly and easily change the UI to look exactly like 3.6.
So, until you update you are knowingly using an old version of software with dozens of known bugs.
