How to enable Windows Aero and Windows Flip 3D
This is issue is very common, it happens after an automatic upgrade, updates or install some applications that can harm graphics settings, I got the same problem when I tried to update a driver through a program (I advice not to use any program to update your drivers, it's better for you to update them by yourself, it's easy and safe, if you don't know how to do that then look at the end of the post to know how)
After installing some applications, the Windows Aero Glass and Windows Flip 3D turned disabled, if you google that problem you will see many sites and forums discuss about this problem, and unfortunately no one of solutions worked fine (which they're very diffecult), till I found a simple site that provide a simple solution.
If you got that problem, then here's the solution!
Follow these steps:
Follow these steps:
1) To enable windows aero – click here to download the modified registry file.
2) Download the file to your desktop, unzip it and move the .reg file directly on your desktop (not in a folder).
3) Right click the .reg (On Desktop) file and click Merge.
4) Click on the Run button when the Security Warning pops-up.
5) Click on Continue (UAC), Yes, and then OK when prompted.
6) Logoff and logon or restart the computer to apply the changes.
7) When finished you can delete the .reg file.
To restore everything to its original state and disable the windows aero feature simply download this registry file and do the same as you did with the one above.
Thanks to Matty!I suggest to visit that site, some many useful things you will find there! :)
How to update your drivers? (Windows Vista)
I will use my Computer (Vista Ultimate) for example:
First, go to Control Panel - Click on Device Manager
A list of devices will appear, check the Screenshot
Then chose a device, right-click and choose Update Driver Software
Windows will ask you: How do you want to search for driver software?
1- Search automatically for updated driver software
2- Browse my computer for driver software
I suggest you to use the first option and let the windows search for any new updates, if there's any available update, it will be installed automatically, if there's not, it will tell you that your driver is up to date.
