Im running win7 but cant run the aero due to a wddm display driver not being in my system ive tried hp support but that wont accept the vista intel 915 chipset as i tried that downlaod and install.

Could somebody please paste a link as to where i could get a wddm driver for this issue please.

Right Click>Properties>Compatibility mode.

Set to Vista SP1, then try SP2

Besides, GMA900 probably won't have enough graphics power to handle Aero anyway. Maybe this is one of the reasons why people hate Vista and 7 so much: not only do they require a lot of hardware power, they require NEW hardware.
