Windows 7 graphics card problem aero? -

Ok i have windows 7 beta on my pc i want to get aero theme but my nvidia graphics card does not have A WDDM driver i went to nvidia.com and took a look at the windows 7 bit it said you can download drivers via windows update but i tried that i and no updates came is there a way i can manually download the new driver? Thanks 3 hours ago - 3 days left to answer. Additional Details 3 hours ago P.S you can tell me if the catagory is wrong but you need to tell me which one to put it in.

It s probably because the updates aren t associated with Windows 7 and instead with Windows Vista. They most likely won t send out updates because Windows 7 is in the beta stage.

Hmmm... It would help if you could identify the specific Nvidia card that you have installed. But if there is no WDDM driver written/available for your card yet, then no Aero for you, sorry. :) At least until the Vista-specific WDDM drivers for your Video card are released by Nvidia -- if they ever do. If the chipset inherently cant support the advanced effects on Vista, they won t bother. Sort of like what Intel did with their 915 Express laptop chipset: only XPDM (non-Aero capable) drivers, no intention of releasing WDDM drivers. PS. In most cases, if you see one available, you can actually use the Vista drivers for your card on Windows7.

it s a Beta release and here you are expecting to find drivers for everything .... you can t find half the drivers to get Vista running with not-so-old hardware and you want a Beta version of Win7 to be fully functional .... get real!

On my 7 I got these guys to help-if they don t have it you out of luck for a few months. http://www.windowsbbs.com/windows-7/ s_e_s
