i know i made two topics about haswell drivers, but i want to run aero on vista (on my old pc), since my new pc does have very new drivers, also radeon drivers are patched for vista, but i never saw anyone patch haswell drivers for vista, also im not good at patching, im not sure if aero would even work with xpdm drivers, can someone at least patch haswell xp drivers to run aero.

Vista Aero needs DX9, and Vista's DX9 cannot work with the newer drivers of Intel HD Graphics (with the blue-white control panel) as it always crashes with BEX or BEX64 signature. However, at least you still can enjoy DX10/11, OpenGL, and Vulkan rendering APIs because they're completely unaffected. And if you want to load the control panel without crashing, you have to rename or move out igdumdim64.dll file from System32 folder and igdumdim32.dll file from SysWOW64 folder. NTOSKRNL Emu_Extender and always disabling the driver signature enforcement from the boot menu are required to install the newer driver on Windows Vista. And if the installer doesn't work, try installing manually by updating the display adapter through Device Manager.

  • You will cannot play videos using Windows Media Player. Solution: Use 3rd-party media players like VLC or MPC-HC to play video files.
  • You also will cannot run video games which use DX9 rendering API for the game engine. Solution: Try updating the game's version, change the renderer to DX10/11/OGL/Vulkan from the game's settings if available, or just mod the game to be rendered using non-DX9 API.
