Activation aero glass: receive Windows Vista Windows 7 guests

Hello

I wonder... Anyone who succeeds to activate aero on Windows Vista (guest) on the Windows 7 host?

Thanks for the replies

You cannot enable aero as it requires directx 10, and VMware currently only supports dx9 shader model 2.

(But not tried it myself), I heard that there is a work around to your guest on a host remote desktop connection capable aero.

As your host is probably able aero... That's what you could try...

I'd be curious to hear your findings

  • Activate aero glass on Windows 8?

    Original title: Aero Glass

    enable aero glass in windows 8?

    To add to this, I think that there should be an option to restore, with the default opacity does nothing to affect the performance of the system.  Solid slabs of color can be a little awkward and the effects Aero 7 made chrome much less intrusive user interface.  Darkening of the color palette doesn't help, because it makes some much stronger colors and the text of the user interface is made more difficult to read.  Desaturate the colours too would also make more difficult to differentiate between active and inactive windows.

    As the taskbar is transparent, it would be certainly possible to do the same thing for the title bars and also include adjustable opacity levels.
  • Windows 7 Aero / Glass no effect no more working time

    My computer is Windows XP on your main HARD drive. I added another HARD drive and installed Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit), the feature in question worked but I had problems with fuzzy texts and also I can not set the resolution recommended for my monitor.

    I downloaded and installed the drivers for my monitor from the manufacturer's website but since it does not solve the blurred fonts, I tried to find the latest drivers for my card through the Device Manager. I noticed that the version of the driver was older (Date of the driver in the course of 2009) that is used by the computer when I boot it Windows XP (driver of 2010). Even if I tried to update, it says that he already has the latest driver for it. I managed to save the display drivers XP uses and updated Windows 7 with her ("disk," method etc.) and I finally got the resolution which is best for my monitor that makes fonts very sharp and any other clear enough. I then installed the ATI Catalyst Control Center (was struggling so he can install properly - missing. INF file, CCC not launch, etc.) but I managed to make it work in the end.

    Unfortunately, I lost Aero / glass effect. Troubleshooting (made sure advanced option 'Applies automatically repairs' is checked) gives me the "current video card can support Aero with a driver that is compatible with the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM).  Contact the manufacturer of your video card or computer for a WDDM compatible driver. "message and finally the error 'Video card driver doesn't support Aero effects. "I thought it's because the drivers of Windows XP was not intended for Windows 7 I so uninstalled and returned to the former working driver, uninstalled ATI Catalyst Control Center (cleaned all the remains) and reinstalled it but ATI does not find the. INF file so it can't update the drivers. Then, I just reinstalled Windows XP drivers.

    Here are some details:

    (After updating the graphics card with the XP ones)

    Adapter type: ATI Radeon X 300/X 550/X 1050 Series

    Driver date: 10/02/2010

    Driver version: 8.593.100.0

    Before I updated with drivers that Windows XP uses now, I remember when Aero was still working (but the resolution is bad), the Date of the driver was some time in 2009.  I read about the update of Windows KB2670838 and discovered that I had installed so I uninstalled it but Windows 7 cannot always bring Aero without it. I don't understand why Aero works with a previous version of a driver but not later.

    Has anyone met and discovered how fix this problem without having to reinstall the operating system? Or should I really give up Aero and settle for the appropriate monitor resolution?

    Thank you!

    Uninstall the current driver.

    Then download from the ATI site: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download on your hard drive.

    Then install.

    (Latest version of the driver is 10.2)

  • Resize the volume & Aero Glass on Vista

    I recently bought a MacBook and installed Windows Vista Ultimate on it using VMware Fusion 2. For some reason, he chose to give Windows a volume of 40 GB, which I felt was too small, but I couldn't change it. I used the settings of the Virtual Machine and has increased the size of the volume to 60 GB, and she seemed to accept but did nothing major that I clicked OK. When I have botted Windows, he always says the volume was 40 GB. How can I increase the size of the volume to 60 GB? If I've touched 40 GB, it will add a new 2 GB to the volume I have the possibility to use 2 GB files (rather than 1 large file) selected?

    Also, can I the Aero Glass interface work?

    Once you extend the vmdk file to size, you can go to disk management, and you can extend the disk to the new size.  Regarding the Aero, vista looks like the video card and usually decides whether she can handle the stress of the experience.  I know they have upped the virtual video card to manage several games and others, but I don't know if it is powerful enough to run aero.

  • I no longer receive windows updates - there is no any version of the Runtime

    original title: contains no DURATION (2nd revision: I installed another version of AOL.) Since that time I no longer receive windows updates.)

    I installed another version of AOL. Since that time I no longer receive windows updates.  I tried to install the autumatic updates and the "fix it", but my computer does not contain any version of the Runtime.

    Hello


    Put the computer to boot and then look for the Windows updates and see if it helps.

    To help resolve other issues, and error messages you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: Follow step 4 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.

    Hope this information helps.
  • "Aero Peek" selects windows on top, but after a second selected window is coming back, behind other windows. __

    When I use Aero Peek and select 1 window to bring it over the top, he goes there, but after a second, he goes back and hides. Sometimes it is on top a little longer, sometimes it's on the top of page continuous, but especially it goes back bihind other windows. If, during the selection, I press the right button of pouts and use 'move' for selected window-, it helps. This problem mostly appears when I try to select the window which is not maximasied, while the other window/s are maximased.
