Vista Problem

[myjaja]

What's wrong with this thing? Isn't windows vista suppose to have that transparent feature? But mines not see through at all. I know the video card is good enough to have that feature. It's a agp geforce 3 64mb video card. Can anyone help me with this?

thanks

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure the Geforce 3s were DX8 parts, and Aero requires a DX9 card.

Ok, thanks. Now I need a new video card.
