[16:31:02] <guest_61> hey. how do i get Aero working again?. windows troubleshooter noir microsoft fix-it can solve the problem. I have tried latest non-beta and beta drivers for my card, the AMD HD7770 without any difference
[16:32:06] <lostcoast> who makes the card?
[16:32:18] <lostcoast> EVGA or asus? or?
[16:32:21] <guest_61> it's the reference model
[16:32:47] <camerongray> I assume you have changed the theme to an aero one?  I've found before that after installing the correct drivers, it's still kept the non-aero theme
[16:33:34] <guest_61> it's an aero-theme, yes
[16:33:44] <camerongray> Ahh, hmm

[16:34:44] <camerongray> Would you say that the GPU is working, like does it score properly in benchmarks and run games like it should?
[16:35:07] <-- patio ([email protected]) has quit (Ping timeout)
[16:35:11] <lostcoast> reference is not a brand of GPU
[16:35:45] <partyo> Lost connection...What OS is this ?
[16:35:49] <guest_61> lostcoast: it does not have a brand. it's the reference version.
[16:35:52] <lostcoast> WHO makes the card?
[16:36:11] <partyo> heee
[16:36:32] <camerongray> lostcoast: It won't be branded and probably made by an OEM, the standard AMD drivers are fine
[16:36:35] <guest_61> I have not tried a game with the beta driver i installed few minutes ago, but the latest gives the right kind of performance
[16:37:02] <partyo> last time...what OS ?
[16:37:18] --> guest_72 ([email protected]) has joined #computerhope
[16:37:20] <guest_61> Win7 x64 Home Premium
[16:37:37] <guest_72> hlep its me guest 05!!
[16:37:59] <partyo> Open Command ...run as Admin and type in the following:  Restart DWM with (by using a CMD shell window with Administrator permission):
[16:37:59] <partyo> net stop uxsms
[16:37:59] <partyo> net start uxsms
[16:38:50] <partyo> Hit Enter after each command
[16:39:19] <guest_61> still aero basic
[16:39:36] <guest_72>  have two oprating systems i think i can use my windows 7 to fix it but how do i log in to it while the windows 8 does not allow me to? 15:58        guest_05        How do i open widows 7
[16:39:57] <partyo> Thats what comes with Home Premium...
[16:40:00] <lostcoast> I see no info to support an unbranded reference GPU
[16:40:23] <guest_61> partyo: no. I had full aero before
[16:40:27] --> guest_01 ([email protected]) has joined #computerhope
[16:40:28] <partyo> LC...agreed
[16:40:35] <-- guest_01 ([email protected]) has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[16:40:37] -*- baconbuttie got to go...be back later
[16:40:43] <-- baconbuttie ([email protected]) has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[16:40:47] <partyo> guest_61: No...you didn't
[16:41:25] <guest_61> Yes. i had all those fancy transparent effects before
[16:41:34] <camerongray> partyo: Home Premium includes Aero
[16:41:40] <camerongray> Vista Home BASIC didn't
[16:41:51] <camerongray> Nor does Windows 7 STARTER
[16:41:58] <partyo> You can go try and switch it if you have ran those commands properly in Admin...but i doubt it'll change
[16:42:18] <camerongray> After running the commands, try changing the theme
[16:42:34] <guest_61> already did, it had no effect
[16:43:33] -*- lostcoast waits for info/proof of this so called OEM unbranded GPU :P
[16:43:41] <-- doug ([email protected]) has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[16:43:48] <lostcoast> it will never come :)
[16:44:42] <guest_61> I'll get you a picture if you don't believe me
[16:45:01] <lostcoast> who sold it?
[16:45:11] <lostcoast> whats its origin ?
[16:45:13] --> db100547 ([email protected]) has joined #computerhope
[16:45:41] <guest_61> It's an Acer Predator something
[16:45:58] <lostcoast> the god of OEM beamed it down to earth?
[16:46:04] <lostcoast> hehe
[16:46:22] <camerongray> lostcoast: If it was included with the PC, they are often unbranded
[16:46:37] <camerongray> Possibly made by Gigabyte/ASUS or something but won't physically be branded
[16:46:38] <lostcoast> prove that
[16:46:43] <partyo> WOW...it's an Acer...so there was a manuf...
[16:47:06] <lostcoast> all cards are branded by LAW
[16:47:30] <camerongray> Really? Pretty sure I have unbranded cards here
[16:47:41] <lostcoast> unless its a chins knock off
[16:47:48] <lostcoast> china
[16:47:58] <camerongray> Nope, these have been pulled from OEM machines
[16:48:04] <guest_61> It has no visible brand. IT does not show up in AIDA64 or SIW. And it lacks physical brand labels too.
[16:48:06] <camerongray> Just has an HP part number on it
[16:48:23] <lostcoast> then its branded HP
[16:48:30] --> guest_19 ([email protected]) has joined #computerhope
[16:48:34] <-> guest_19 is now known as doug
[16:48:57] <camerongray> But doesn't say on it!
[16:49:01] <camerongray> Not was it likely made by them
[16:49:08] <lostcoast> you just said it did
[16:49:21] <lostcoast> ok im done this is silly
[16:49:23] <camerongray> It didn't say HP, just had a part number
[16:49:29] <camerongray> Yeah, this is not related to the problem
