gdogg Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 (edited) did you upgrade from rc1 to rc2?or did you do a clean install?rc2 added the ability to run counter strike source through steam runs really well for being dx10 and this aero interface thing.cant wait for sli now.but that aero interface thing, causes wierd blinking ground in some lvls, and in some option screens.thats the biggest issue I see so far, is with areo coming though in games using IE core Edited October 8, 2006 by gdogg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reff67 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 (edited) I have just noticed that I can no longer run Vista Aero theme at my IBM R52 laptop, and I could do that with earlier betas.. ***TRY THIS***1) Updating the windows experience index and then restarting Aero2) If you have a nvidia graphics card, update it, NOT over the internet!, then update it to geforce Go 7900 GS (microsoft corporation -WDDM) from the computer it self. and then refresh you rating and then restart.3) Ok a fix has been posted on the shellrevealed forums : It seems that it is a known issue happening when you have only 512mo of RAM and will be fix in RTM. During this time here's a workaround : A. Ensure that you have the following registry value set to : HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\Composition set to 1 (32-bit DWORD) HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\CompositionPolicy set to 2 (32-bit DWORD) B. Restart DWM by opening a command prompt with administrative privileges : - Type 'net stop uxsms' - Then 'net start uxsms'Some Peolpe With 1 GB of ram didn't have aero either. But updating the score on Thier computer fixed it. So my guess is people with over 512 mb of ram might be able to use the score update fix. People with 512mb ram should try the fix In Step #3 Edited October 8, 2006 by reff67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdogg Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 (edited) I can now confirm, using the M$ built in drivers, with rc2, and the control panel from nvidia rc1 forceware, that SLI is enabled, and probbally has been since rc1.Its just hidden from the user now.In atitool, I get the same FPS in vista as I do in windows xp with sli split frame rendering enabled.found under nvidia control panel / program settingsfind the game, look for sli performance mode.opengl games seem to be forced slip frame rendering, where DX games, just use NVIDIA Recommended SLI3dmark05 dont show the sli being enabled at all, and shows that the default type is alternate frame rendering, and with no option in addition direct3d settings under performance and quality settings (classic control panel). of max frames to render ahead like in xp (default of 3) it cant alternate frames, cause it can produce 0 frames ahead of time.found the registry key for windows itsD3D_98764205 . but that value isn't in the vista drivers, and adding it didn't helpI will try to edit existing keys nowuntil sli looks as if its workin in 3dmark05 Edited October 8, 2006 by gdogg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kartel Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 (edited) I formatted RC1 and did a clean install of RC2.I now can choose my desktop area: 1152x864Avg free is longer a option, it wont install.My sound options work, a little better, but not muchMy Logitech quick cam wont work now and MS isnt offering a update for some reasonI noticed 5 or 6 new services that I have no clue about, let alone half the others which I have no clue.I like Vista, and I love the fact I got it free, thanks to the heads up on this forum.I dont trust Vista, or XP, I still prefer 98SE Vista makes my computer look like a fool......2 Gigs of ram is the mininum I'd say.Been killing left and right on halo, no crash, havent tested all but GTA VC and SA look killer.Ram still OK at 2-3-3-6http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=128288***Dont forget to update your DX10 via DX end user update, you'll need those old files for your games Edited October 12, 2006 by xper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1K Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 then why was the option greyed off for me when i went to go install rc2?Most probably because you didn't have enough free spsace that is required for an upgrade.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1K Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 1) Updating the windows experience index and then restarting Aero How should I do that? A. Ensure that you have the following registry value set to : HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\Composition set to 1 (32-bit DWORD) HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\CompositionPolicy set to 2 (32-bit DWORD)HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\Composition set to 1 (32-bit DWORD) - Seems I can't find this key, it doesn't exist in this path..[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\CompositionPolicy set to 2 (32-bit DWORD) - I've changed this and after restart Aero was enabled and selectable in display properties..B. Restart DWM by opening a command prompt with administrative privileges : - Type 'net stop uxsms' - Then 'net start uxsms'I restarted the computer instead.. Thx for this solution..

Nakatomi2010 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I've so far been able to just do a straight upgrade from Beta 2 to RC1 Build5600 to RC1 Build 5728 to RC2 Build 5744All of which were successful, when the final release hits though I'm going to do a clean install. Also, after the upgrade from Build 5600 to 5728 I noticed that my games have not all been playing properly, with some minor glitching occuring here and there, tough to describe, but a noticeable decrease in performance due to this glitching. As of build 5744 I've gotten some graphical glitching issues which had been fixed in the release of 5600, however it was fixed by upgrading my ATi drivers, which I suspect will be the same solution here.Most of my current issues are all driver related, as it will be for many people.I want my 5.1 surround sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdogg Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 (edited) your gonna have to tell us what soundcard your using, if you want any attempt of help with your sound.or your motherboard if onboardwith nforce audio codec, rc1 forceware works, to get the 7.1 5.1 4.1 2.0 and stop crashing where windows update drivers caused crashing and 2 channel only.
