I was wondering if anybody knew if a Intel GMA 900 integrated graphics would work… On wikipedia it says it theoretically works but there is no WDDM driver so this is what this hack is for, right?

Those last 2 comments 27 & 28 are complete bullshit this does not work on RTM, I know this because it worked for me fine on the beta versions *Before RC… then the rest *betas after RC it stopped working.

This WORKED for me on Windows 7 RTM!

After I installed my ASUS Radeon 4870 Dark Knight 1GB, aero stopped working and the Win 7 fixer couldn’t fix it. This “hack” did the trick!

1 Read the article carefuly
2 comments allready state that this does not work

for those who screens turned black, you need to have had met all hardware req.(128 Mb vcard) but didn’t have driver

if you had req., nothing should have happened instead of a black screen

this is a vista and early w7 trick

does not work for later and rtm

You must write in HKEY_USERS\”YOUR USER ID”\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM

But is render only black screen(on my computer).

Y’all are idiots. this doesn’t work unless your graphics card has 128 MB or more in memory. unsupported means cards that would be able to run it as far as specs go but cant because the driver is unsupported.

my screen when black also a easier way then going into safe mode is to use ease of access and choose use the color setting it will fix it enough to delete the registry u added

Can be a dangerous thing to do. So before you touch the Registry, use System Restore to create a restore point so that you can revert to the previous version of the Registry if something goes awry.To create a restore point, choose Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Restore files from backup > Create a restore point or change settings. GL. just for any1 reading this.
