Solve : Aero? |
|
Answer» I use Windows 7 Ultimate with Intel Celeron D 2.53 GHz, 1GB DDR 2-533 and an AGP video card of 256 Mb - FX 5500. From the time I used Vista HP, the computer used to freeze. Now the same problem is happening. Always use the Aero look, which I think require a lot of video, which may be causing this crash. After I disable Aero the problem stopped. Will this setup I have is insufficient for video resolutions necessary for these visual systems? Congratulations.Win7 on a Celeron is the basic issue here.AGP video cards were before the Direct3D era-256 MB of onboard DDR RAM will not be good for even flash games. It will certainly not support Aero... AGP video cards were before the Direct3D era-256 MB of onboard DDR RAM will not be good for even flash games. It will certainly not support Aero... Your WORDING is a bit confusing here. What is the "Direct3d era"? My ATI Rage Pro Turbo AGP card has 8MB of VRAM and has hardware support for Direct3D 6.0. Much like the Riva 128. Direct3D first became something used by many games around 1998 through 2001; even before that, many games used DirectX, in the form of the "Windows games SDK", which was later renamed to DirectX, which provided access to 3-D accelerator hardware. see games like "Terminal Velocity" (if I recall the title correctly). Also, several Direct3d games are provided in demo form on the windows 98 CD, which means that there were PLENTY of Direct3d games at the time of windows 98's launch. a "Gaming" video card of that day would often be something like the aforementioned ATI Rage Pro Turbo or the NVidia Riva TNT, The former which was USUALLY equipped with 4MB or 8MB of Video Memory, the latter which supported up to 16MB of the same. Clearly you mean the era of mainstream desktop composition, which is entirely irrelevant with regards to Direct3d. Additionally, you cannot just buy a PCI-E card and install it, you'll need a motherboard that supports PCI-E. if the motherboard currently has a AGP slot, obviously it won't have any PCI-E slots, certainly none for a video card. So the suggestion basically is "Buy a new computer". I present an alternative: Don't use aero. Stick with Luna. I meant to say DirectX 8 and above. I'll have to thank you for what I learned, though. |
