So, I said in my last post that I didn't get Aero Glass by default on my NVidia GeForce FX Go5200 but you can change this. I found how on this post on Neowin:
Start > run, type in devmgmt.msc Display Adapters > right click on Geforce FX Go5200 goto drivers update drivers dont do win update dont search choose pick from list uncheck show compatible hardware
Man: nVidia Device: Geforce FX 5200 (LDDM)
The thing that is amazing is all the visual candy that now works such as the Sliding Full Preview Alt-Tab feature and the Windows - Spacebar Window stacking! Holy cow this rocks! The only trouble is with the LDDM Glass driver I can only get 1024X768 instead of the regular 1440X900 widescreen which makes it hard to work but the effects are mindblowing.
