    I just did a fresh install of Vista Ultimate and I was looking forward to seeing all the cool effects. Trying to enable them is proving difficult as I can't seem to turn them on. I am looking specifically for the things like Aero, 3D flip and glass. I have followed instructions online showing how to turn these on but it never works.

    Anyone elese come accross this and know what to do to fix it?

    Thanks

    Your specs may not be up to it.

    I hope my specs would be up for it:

    specs:

    CPU: Q6600 quad core
    Ram: 4 Gigs
    GPU: 2 X 8800 GTS

    I'm new to vista so I dont get these scores, i just ran it again and it came up as 5.1. Is that good?

    Yep, that's good. Well it's not your specs. :)

    So you go into Appearance and vista and do what?

    Something is wrong somewhere along the line. I have a E6850, 4gb RAM and 1 8800GT and my score was 5.7.

    What motherboard you got? Hard-drives?

    Have you tried different drivers for your graphics? Most odd.
