How to Enable Vista Glass look on Unsupported Video Cards

[ashish_patel]

Microsoft Windows Vista, formally Codename longhorn has a new user interface system codenamed Avalon. This new user interface engine greatly enhances the look by utilizing several cool looking 3D effects. Of course, to be able to fully utilize the new engine you need a good 3D video card on top of special drivers, WDDM (Windows Display Driver Model).
To turn on this effect just execute c:\Windows\System32\UXSS.exe or enable and start the User Experience Session Management Service.
1. Open up Regedit.
2. Navigate through HKEY_local_machine, Software, and Microsoft.
3. Create a new KEY called DWM.
4. In the new DWM key you created, create a DWORD called EnableMachineCheck.
5. Make sure this value is set to 0 and hardware checking is now disabled.

Quick Note: Although you can get it to run on older hardware, with the lack of WDDM drivers available, it is going to run very slowly if at all.

Its a trick which used to work in Vista Beta versions. It no longer works in RTM.

And since you are new to forum, I'll advise you to read the rules. Plagiarism is not entertained here. So pls next time mention the source. You have posted a few threads but didnt mention the source anywhere.

This trick has been taken from "tweakVista.com".
