Can't run Aero and videos

p7y · Apr 12, 2007, 12:53 AM

i installed Vista Ultimate 32bit and even that i've installed the drivers of the graphics card i can't run videos and i'm getting an error says that i have a problem with my graphics card....
i have an NVIDIA GeForce 6200 TurboCach 128mb
i also can't run Aero i can't even see the theme in the theme list....
is this graphics card can run Aero anyway???
and one more thing i wrote in Run the command dxdiag and it says that i have Directs 10 and i think this could be the problem because i don't think this graphics card supports DX10 and i tried to install DX9.0c and it didn't work.....

It's possible that the graphics card has too little onboard video memory. Vista needs a minimum of 32MB and some of the "6200 Turbocache 128" cards only have 16MB.

Have you tried updating your Windows Experience Score? Make sure you manually run it at least once after installing all drivers. Also if you ever see it in gray color you will have to re run it(usually have to when changing drivers)

Edit- Dont worry about the DX10 only thing; Vista still has and runs DX9. Aero itself doesn't come close to requiring DX10 hardware. Make sure to update your WEI score and windows will automatically enable Aero if your card can run it.

thanks for the new idea maybe it can work but i tried to update and i get an error ant the end of the procedure here is the picture: (sorry about the hebrew

)

thinking of any solution?

buddy

i'm running the same video card in my media centre upstairs.... getting THE SAME PROBLEMS AS YOU.

but, i got aero working with the drivers that you get with windows update.....

aero wont work with nvidia drivers you get from their website.

and i can't play videos either, it says that there is something wrong with my video card which is udder bullshit.

only thing I can suggest, is try another video card..

that's the ONLY thing holding me back from using vista as my main OS upstairs.. the lack of video functionality. i need it if its my home theatre box

man it's suckssss
here is a link from microsfot that shows all the supported video cards but i don't understand nothing so please look for my video card in there...
http://www.nvidia.com/page/technology_vista_home.html
like i said i have NVIDIA GeForce 6200 TurboCach 128mb.....
and what about the problem with the update of the WEI??

edit:
oops i found in NVIDIA website an analyzing that checks if my computer can run Vista but my video card has only 32mb onboard RAM and the minimum is 64mb...
anybody have a card like my card and vista works good on his computer??

zaim · Apr 12, 2007, 11:13 PM

didn't you just read my last post?

i just said i'm running the same card, and having the same issues dude...

Lowfat · Apr 21, 2007, 11:53 PM

I ran the same card without a single problem. Aero ran although Flip3D would get choppy.

zaim · Apr 23, 2007, 06:26 AM
