About the force aero on any card with a single line, that's a lie. Aero requries a DirectX 9 compatible card to function, yes there are some cards where it can be forced but that's only because they are not natively compatible by means of software but are hardware capable. Imo I reckon that the intel driver was installed originally and the end user has decided to force install some nvidia drivers over the top, causing the corruption you onserved upon uninstall. Ill have a look at that laptop's specs online and see if there are niche's which could cause this sort of issue (dual cards, new nvidia optimus technology).

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. -- 9xx SOLDIERS SANS FRONTIERS -- 9xx SOLDIERS SANS FRONTIERS
