just built my 1st pc (all the kit bought here) and have installed win7 64 bit which seems to work very wel

didnt really know what aero transparency is but i occured to me mine wasnt working correctly, so i downloaded the driver again for my graphic card (ATI Radeon HD 4800) installed it and presto, it was so much better

but i have to install this driver everytime i reboot cos it reverts back to how it was

ive searched quite a bit through google but nothing i see remedies this

ive ran the aero trouble shooter and it says windows desktop manager is disabled and the problem has now been corrected, but it hasnt

the only way to get aero back is to reinstall the driver

anyone got any ideas?
 
yes no transparency at all untill i install the driver, once thats installed it all goes transparent and i can then open the transparency adjustment page,

but when i reboot it all goes back to normal:confused:
 
I would do the old gem of uninstalling the drivers, rebooting into safe mode and then running Driver Sweeper.

Once you have done that reboot and do a fresh install of the drivers and see if that has done anything to help matters.

driver sweeper is awefull. it causes more problems than it solves!! it sometimes removes files it shouldnt, causing majour problems! most people with problems like this are nearly always sourced back to them using driver sweeper :/ correct me if im wrong but this is what ive seen.

This man is not wrong, this seems to be apparent more often than not these days.

thanks, but yeah, this seems to be the case unfortunatly! general recomendation seems to be to stay away from driver sweeper alltogether. as it seems to be especially bad at messing up windows 7 from what ive seen.
 
ok, well i have used driver sweeper, had i known that before then maybe i wouldnt of but ive done it now

but still the problem persists


running out of ideas now....
 
Use ccleaner to remove registry keys instead .... the files will be on the file system but Windows won't load them as the registry will be empty of those DLLs ... this works most of the time for me.
