Vist questions...

and yup, as you figured out the Parhelia will not run Aero.

Correction. It will run Aero but not Aero Glass.

Try Autopatcher ..................... my experience with Autopatcher for XP has so far been very good.

Oops, forgot about that one... But apparently, they are having no luck with Vista... (judging by the lack of Vista download and some threads on the forum)

Weird... on my Parhelia, I cannot enable the taskbar thumbnails (option in greyed out) or see thumbnails on Windows flip (alt+tab); even though the above link seems to present this as an Aero feature independent from the Glass.

edit: found this: Windows Help, check the second question. The requirement for Aero according to this is:

Aero also requires a DirectX 9 class graphics processor that supports a Windows Display Driver Model Driver, Pixel Shader 2.0 in hardware, and 32 bits per pixel.

(I have updated my score after installing the drivers, not doing this could also lead to loss of features)

@Technoid: Anyway to change this behaviour?

Format c: and then install XP

You can force on SOME of the glass features but not all of them. For the really snazzy stuff you, unfortunately, need a WDDM driver which you'll likely never get for the P. Sorry.

Which features can you force on? And how?
(I just would like the flip interface (not flip3D) and the thumbnails)


Oh, I also found the second GMT setting, it is the zone for Reykjavik (no GMT offset, no DST).
