  • What does that mean? -This problem occurred because your graphics card does not support the required version of DirectX. This version of Windows requires a DirectX 9.0 compatible video card or newer.

    I tried viewing a presentation power point and got to page 2 and my computer crashed.  Thought on... what he did previously trying to display a PPP file, but I thought that it was not my computer to the actual file.  now I have my doubts and also this time an error message came that said... This problem occurred because your graphics card does not support the required version of DirectX. This version of Windows requires a DirectX 9.0 compatible video card or newer.  can someone tell me what I should do next?

    You left out which version of DirectX has been shown.

    As far as I know, your Intel 945GM should support DirectX 9 and because you have XP sp3, you must have at least DirectX 9 installed.

    I met the following, but it shouldn't apply to Powerpoint:

    Some such as the Intel 945 GM Intel video cards have a design limitation which may cause problems when you try to run the Source Engine games. 3D graphics kernel does not support transformation of material, light and the vertex shader to similar technologies, which is an important part of the pipeline of 3D acceleration. Instead, this functionality is emulated in software that can reduce the compatibility and performance with 3D games.

    I don't have a solution for you (assuming that DXDIAG, in fact, reports to have DirectX 9 or higher).  You can see if you install a new driver support, but if it were me, I would be first contact Acer technical support or ask your question in another forum as one of the following conditions:

    Intel graphics Forum: http://communities.intel.com/community/tech/graphics
    Forum PowerPoint: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/powerpoint (select the corresponding forum for your version of Powerpoint).  Include the results of DxDiag, including the version of DirectX.  If there is something unusual about the image that causes the crash, include this info as well.

    Normally, for notebook/laptop computer, it is better to get the drivers of the mfr of computer rather than the manufacturer of the device.

    Acer drivers for your computer are here: http://support.acer.com/us/en/product/default.aspx?tab=1&modelId=535 (you want the Intel VGA for XP driver)

    Intel has a newer driver: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Internet+Devices&ProductLine=Netbooks&ProductProduct=Mobile+Intel%C2%AE+945GM+Express+Chipset+Family

    Hi Lyle,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    According to the description of the problem your graphics card does not support the Aero themes. If you experience a problem then you need to update the drivers.

    Drivers are updated occasionally. Windows can update automatically, or you can install the drivers updated yourself. It is important for you to have confidence in the updated drivers that you install. Windows warns you if it detects a suspicious or dangerous driver, you should not install.

    Try to update the drivers from the link provided below and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following windows Help article.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

    Steps to follow:

    a. go to start and type regedit.exe.

    b. navigate to the registry key next:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER

    c. If the DWM registry key is not found, right click on Windows, and then select New -> key to create the new branch and name it as DWM.

    d. in the details pane on the right, create a new DWORD (32-bit value) named UseMachineCheck, and set its value to 0.

    e. in the details pane on the right, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value namedblur, and set its value to 0.

    f. in the details pane on the right, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value namedAnimations, and set its value to 0.

    g. restart the Desktop Window Manager Session Manager in Services in Control Panel (type Services.msc in start search), or run the following commands in an command with administrator privileges prompt:

    net stop uxsms
    net start uxsms

    h. try to enable and apply Windows Aero in Windows 7. Restart the computer if necessary.

    This should be it.

    Hello Dan,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you get the message that the aero effects are not supported by your video card. I would help you with the question. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    1. What is the edition of Windows 7 installed on your computer (Home Premium, professional, Ultimate etc.)?
    2. What is the brand and model number. your computer?
    3. What is the exact message you get?

    The question could arise if Windows 7 is not compatible with the version of the driver or if the driver you are using, in particular, does not supports the Aero effects.

    I would suggest trying the following methods and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    Run the next fixit and then re-run the assessment. Check if it is useful.

    Visual effects Aero Glass in Windows are not working or displayed

    If the problem persists, try the following method.

    Method 2:

    See the steps in the following Knowledge Base article and check if the question is reproduced.

    Guided Help: the problems of Aero in Windows 7

    In addition, I suggest you refer to the section: Aero material required in the following article and check if the problem persists.

  • Graphics card does not support Windows Aero?

    Hello world

    today I received the message telling me (after that I played a few hours) that my pc has problems of performance due to the Aero and it offers me to activate Windows Basic.

    I have this card (Nvidia GTX 750 Ti) for 2 months now and it never gave me problems so I'm wandering if it could be a hardware problem or just windows that ran a test on the graphics card all the 'X' days for the Aero compatibility.

    I ran the fix tool and it said that my GPU is not compatible with Aero (never had problems of performance in games activities or other).

    So I ask: is this a real problem? Can I ignore it and run Aero or it will cause physical problems in the future? Can it be a hardware failure or something similar?

    Thank you.

    The card should manage easily Aero and its effects. Go to this site where you can download and run the latest drivers...

    The message should go away... :-)

    Alright. That is the problem. I installed windows 7 on my laptop because a virus crashed my windows vista and the lost disk. After installing windows 7 my dvd player wouldn't even appear or open. As there is no power going to it. Before installing 7 worked well. I want to downgrade back to windows vista. I had an iso, mounted police and when installed would not let me because the car is not active or something. Went to disk management in the config of the admin and active player. That I reset. When starting it stops saying BOOTMGR is missing press ctrl alt del to restart. I don't know what else to do. Help, please.

    Here's how to clean install Vista:

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
