download the ms vista tool to check your configuration. but i think that vista will run with no problems. give it a try ;-)

Yes, but I don't know about the graphics card, you need to check ATI's website to find out if there are drivers for that. Like Dharray says, use the upgrade advisor to help you make the right decision. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/upgradeadvisor/default.mspx -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Is there any way to FORCE Aero glass, like some sort of regedit or something?

Kinda like hooking a garden hose up to a fire hydrant. Sure, water will come out, but...

yea, is there anyway to get it to work even if your graphics card does not support it? "Mark D. VandenBerg" wrote in message

No. The card must support 3D rendering and the manufacturer of the card must supply an LDDM driver.

Found this on TweakVista.com. I have not tried this because my video card supports the Aero Glass inteface. Please try at your own risk.
