WB 7 (newest version) cannot take the effect for Aero on my laptop with Vista SP2

from Stardock Forums

Hi 

My laptop only can use Vista Aero basic effect and I order a WB 7 from your website.

The issue is I still cannot take the effect for Aero with WB7, it's so sad.

 

When my laptop intalled XP SP3 with WB6, I can take the effect for Aero.

Please tell me how I can do to fix the issue, thanks a lot.

It works well and enabled the blur / Aero effects.

Your video drivers are XP ones rather than Vista ones which is why you cannot use per pixel skins on Vista.

You would need a Windows Experience Score of 2 or more to support those features.

Unfortunately I think there are no Vista drivers for your graphics hardware so you may be stuck with the XP drivers and so without per pixel support.

Had same problem,aero was fine then stopped working .Turned out it was tuneup utilities that changed something during reg.cleanup.Downloaded the free drivermax and was amazed at what drivers were out of date,downloaded the latest drivers for graphic card(that was the problem) and problem now solved.Aero now works.
