Windows Vista Beta 1


Recommended Posts

I just had a look at the Display Drivers with LDDM Support listing and Aeolus 6800GT-DV256 is not listed as far as I can see. However I could be wrong since it requires you to look at the Dxdiag output file and match it.

Have a go with it and see if it's on the list or not.

Ah found it ... but there is no 6xxx/7xxx card in that list! What the hell, is my hardware too "new" for Vista?

Argh.

Or too old :laugh:

Mine is not in the list too... so I'm looking around for a new card to purchase. My card is old anyway... GeForce 4 Ti4200 64MB

DO NOT install daemon tools - i did, and now every time vista boots, it bluescreens and restarts, in an ongoing cycle - even when going to safemode

argh, format for me :/

What are you ouizhvzpoe about?

There are only FX and quadro models in that LDDM list, e.g.

Nvidia
NVIDIA_NV35.DEV_0333.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce FX 5950 Ultra (LDDM)"

No 6800 or 7800 ... so how can my card be too old, it's newer than those already in that list!

oh, and those that are winging about install time - it took me exactly 43 minutes and 18 seconds from start to finish with the system shown in my sig

I was joking. :p

Maybe it's not supported yet? Anyway, this is off topic... we should be discussing this in the newsgroup. See you over there!

When i was installing i think it said "Graphic cards that have PCI-E counterparts dont work yet cause they have the same name" or something like that, anyways my Nvidia FX 5200 works with Aero Glass :p

It's just because your card is not being detected as dx9.0c compatible.

Well, found something ...

@echo off
cd %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\
start rundll32.exe udwm.dll DwmClientStartup
exit 

Those commands put in a batch file should enable DWM ... gonna try it out in a minute (have to reboot)

Gunna submit a bug for that though... stupid how 5xxx series cards work fine (ESPECIALLY tthe 5200) and not the 6xxx series

That was said about only 2 cards, the X700 and the X800 or something. Solution was, to boot to safe mode and install drivers from the manufacturer.

Don't report a bug, complain to your hardware manufacturer, Nvidia. They haven't made LDDM compatible drivers for LH yet. It's their problem, not Microsoft's

Yeah, ATI has LDDM drivers for the 9500 to current on x86 and x64, however, Nvidia has only made LDDM drivers for the 5xxx line, and that's only on the x86 version. I can't believe they would do that, no support for 6xxx or 7xxx. Hopefully you can get some drivers from them soon, or there will be a hack to make Aero work on any card without a check.

Edit: Blog post regarding this is up, take a look for more information to explain it all: http://www.extended64.com/blogs/ajerman/default.aspx
