I need to upgrade the video card intel 915gm in my eee pc 904 hd to suport the aero theme in vista

If your laptop is a HP Compaq nc6220 and it has been upgraded to win7 you may have reached or exceded your laptops Hardware limitation, therefore your graphic card does not support areo. That said, you can,most likely use vista drivers for your Intel 915GM Graphics Card.

There are some add-on packs out there. Some require 3rd party software. Some are themes.

You may have to sacrifice performance for looks. Something to consider.

Hi,

There is already a reply for this :-

Intel will support the Windows Vista Aero desktop theme beginning with the Intel 945G/GM Express chipset and Intel 965 Express chipset families, as well as with future desktop and mobile chipsets.

Hope that would answer your solution.

Upgrade and get it fixed.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

Hey, i've had the same problem. Did you try patching the aero theme? Cos i did the same and it corrupted! One thing you can try now is that you can copy this theme from any of your friends' PC which is running Vista Ultimate and copy it in yours'. You shd paste the file under "C:\Windows\Resources\Themes" (shd have Admin rights to do this). Then apply the theme as usual.
But if the above doesn't work and you are desperate in need of the Aero theme, then no other way other that re-installing the OS.

Hope this help. If so, rate me.. thanks - billa

Glad to hear it was settled.

Sounds like you have Intel Ingregrated Video with less than 1 GB system ram.

The answer is the system does not have the hardware to Run Vist Aero Mode, and apparently has minimal ability to run Vista at all.

You may be able to get a better video driver than the default at Support.dell.com.

More than likely, you are looking at putting Windows XP back on the system

Right click your desktop and choose personalization. In the drop down menu select Vista Basic and apply.

Intel has no plans to release WDDM for this Chipset.

Sorry

Your Intel D915GLVG has a integrated PCIExpress built into the board. Your system memory is shared with the built in video card. This board's memory can handel up to 4GB of system memory which up to 512MB can be shared from your system memory. If you wanted to disable the integrated 915GL Express Chipset with Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 900. You would be left with two PCI slots. Running a PCI video card is slower than a AGP card & two notches down from a PCIExpress card.
So in order for you to acheave what you want your going to have to increase your system memory. If you still have your manual the specifactions for your memory is on Pg. 9.
The link below is a list of supported memory from Intel.
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d915glvg/sb/CS-027048.htm
If you no longer have your manual you download it from this link:
http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d915glvg/sb/c996091_en.pdf
Though you can check aound. I can suggest this mamory which will give you 2GB dual matched memory that is within your boards specifications. Listed at this link. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1075233&CatId=1352
You will still have two memory slots free to upgrade to a total of 4Gb at a later date. So please do not disable your current video card. Please use your manual when installing memory. Two Dimms go into certain slots on the D915GLVG board.
Enjoy!
