My laptop is brand new i bought it before 2 months or so ... I dont know what is the problem i recently updated my graphic card too and i cant think what it might be the problem ? It should be hardware or something ? please someone who knows anything let me know so i can bring back my laptop to the shop i bought to get fix. .. I tried every possible fix, remove my nvidia drivers installed the drivers from dell website, updated my BIOS to 08 , i use the aero troubleshooter and it cant find any problem or errror. I dont know what else i should do seriously anyone have any idea? |

Re: Alienware M15x Aero Theme Not Working.
This may sound really daft, and probably is, but I had this problem a few years back with Vista x86 and this worked for me:
Run the Windows experience rating. Then, when your GPU gets a rating above 3, Windows realises it can run Aero and enables it. This might do nothing at all, or you may have already done it. If not, it's worth a try though.

Re: Alienware M15x Aero Theme Not Working.
Is the graphics card working properly in other ways? Does it perform ok in games etc.?
