Hello brothers,
I write to report one of the strangest things that has ever happened
to me, I usually help my friends to keep their pc in a good healt
status doing ordinary stuff like update drivers and so on... yesterday
I was working on a toshiba satellite a100-803 and while uninstalling
some crap (toolbars and so on) I found that someone had installed
Nvidia drivers on it and the intel driver weren't enlisted among
installed applications ( but the intel cp was present in the control
panel, and correctly working).
I obviously uninstalled nvidia drivers expecting nothing to change,
but actually, after uninstalling nvidia drivers, aero stopped working
(with no error messages) and I had to install 945 stock drivers
(didn't try AT's v series as I wasn't able to find those for vista and
obviously sherry beta didn't work on vista ( it should be only for 7
right?)).
Now, I know there's a way to force aero on every video card with a
command line but I'm sure no one has done it as this friend of mine is
not a power user. I don't understand why the laptop had nvidia driver
installed ( the lappy is not equipped with two video cards and when I
uninstalled nvidia drivers, vista rolled back to "standard vga
adapter" not to intel wddm drivers.
I hope I was clear, please brothers help me to find the reason of
this.
(why the hell a 945 would work with nvidia driver arriving at even
activating aero?)
I don't know nvidia driver version since I uninstalled it without
expecting this (otherwise I would have mailed Angelic and the others
at lightspeed) If there's a way to get it back tell me how please.
PS there was no nvidia cp in windows vista cp and I have reason to
believe that those drivers were designed for windows xp.
