Hi buddies,

I have ATI redeon 9250 AGP 8X Graphics card and I hav installed Windows vista Ultimate, Then I got the error that the graphics driver doesnot supports Windows vista.

I can run Windows xp driver on it and it runs well but I am not able to see AERO effect , movie maker & DVD maker.

Is there any Driver for my Graphics card Which supports AERO effect as well as Windows Movie Maker and Windows DVD maker..??

pls tell me if there is any solution for this ...

Afaik the gfx card doesnt meet to requirements to run Aero. You can't get Aero running in your system.

Try this

http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/GRAPHICS-BOARD/ATI/ATI-Catalyst-Video-Driver-Beta-Vista-RC1.shtml

Though it's a RC, but still you can give it a try!

The 9200 series isnt even supported by vista. There is no point using XP drivers for the card on vista. All you would get is loads of BSoDs from time to time.

I think U should try for Windows Update that will take some time and then after this u get the option for the hardware update where may be u get the right drivers for ur graphics card. These drivers are also has digital signature.

May be ur problem is solve out.

Thanks and Regards

Buddyjust try to use this,it's a old trick I had posted once a long time back here-

Locate the following entries in the registry:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\Composition set to 1 (32-bit DWORD)
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\CompositionPolicy set to 2 (32-bit DWORD)

and then restart the Desktop Windows Manager Session Manager service (DWM) from the command prompt:

net stop uxsms
net start uxsms

This is only of use if you have a DX9 and PixelShader 2.0 enabled video card but for some reason Vista doesn't enable Glass.
This will not work if your graphics card does not support these technologies, as Aero Glass is dependent on them.

The minimum specifications to qualify for Aero Glass according to Microsoft is:

Support for DirectX 9 graphics with a WDDM driver, 128 MB of graphics memory (minimum), Pixel Shader 2.0 and 32 bits per pixel.

I dont know the source it was save on my harddisk for source take a look at my old posts.

Windows 8

I hav also tried this registry tweak

ATI 9250 supports PixelShader 2.0 but i think it does't support DX9.

If it doesn't support DX9 then it wouldn't work.

Windows 8

I think once U should try from Internet.

Because i ur disc u have older version of drivers and if they are supportive then these are installed at the time of Windows Vista installtion. So try Windows Update via Internet.

Thanks and Regards
