Minor problem with Vista. - Page 2

How do I get to the x drive?

**Pyroshock** · 04-9-2009, 11:33 PM

His rating wouldn't have gone down, it was just be the first time he's run it if that is indeed the problem.

NFD · 04-9-2009, 11:34 PM

Look, I may have pressed something on my keyboard, it's an Asus.

**Pyroshock** · 04-9-2009, 11:36 PM

Idk if any key combination could have disabled Aero

X drive is whatever your OS is installed on, probably C:

Just go to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes and see if Aero stuff is still there

NFD · 04-9-2009, 11:40 PM

Still can't find it. Aero is sitting on my desktop. I clicked one of the icons, the Windows Visual Style one, and it took me to the Appearance Settings screen, with Aero still not on the list.

**Pyroshock** · 04-9-2009, 11:42 PM

I'm pretty sure it has to be in the C:\Windows\Resources\Themes folder to show up in the list

NFD · 04-9-2009, 11:43 PM

........I went to that file, and Aero was there.

**Pyroshock** · 04-9-2009, 11:44 PM

Can you right click on Computer on the Start Menu and choose Properties, and tell me if it says anything under System next to Rating

Also while you're there click on Device Manager, go to the Display Adapter, and look for the latest drivers for your graphics card.

NFD · 04-9-2009, 11:45 PM

It says I'm unrated.

Under Display Adapters it says:

NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS
This device is working properly.

**Pyroshock** · 04-9-2009, 11:49 PM

Ok well go to http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce...9.48_beta.html and download and install the driver, then try running the rating thing

If that doesn't work I'm out of ideas

NFD · 04-9-2009, 11:51 PM

But, what did I do? I had Aero since Tuesday, and it just disappeared?

Also how do I install the driver.

**Pyroshock** · 04-9-2009, 11:52 PM

No clue haha

Nothing like that's ever happened to me

Oh and open start and type Services into the search bar and press enter, then look to see if the services Desktop Windows Manager and Themes are started

Just install the driver by running the application that you download from that site

NFD · 04-10-2009, 12:07 AM

Nothing.

Professor Raine · 04-10-2009, 01:53 AM

Damn I remember when this happened to me.

...

Try setting the theme to windows vista?

*forgot

chidori! · 04-10-2009, 01:56 AM

the theme is already on windows vista but the appearance isn't on aero

Professor Raine · 04-10-2009, 02:01 AM

Well I remember it being a rather trivial and minute thing that I stumbled upon. So yeah, maybe if you just ignore it for a while, it'll end up getting fixed by accident.
