Update your Windows Experience Index, as described in ???Maximize the
Windows Performance Rating,??? later in this chapter, so that Windows
can reassess your video subsystem??™s capabilities. You may need to
restart Windows if the Performance Information and Tools window
doesn??™t update your score after a reasonable wait.
2. In Control Panel, open the System page, and click the Advanced system
settings link on the left side (or run SystemPropertiesAdvanced.exe).
3. In the Performance section, click the Settings button.
4. Turn on the Enable desktop composition and Enable transparent glass
options, and then click OK and then OK again to close the two windows.
(These options may not be present if you??™re not using the Aero
interface.)
5. Back in Control Panel, go to the Personalization page, and click the Display
Settings link.
If you know how much video memory is on your video card,
refer to Table 5-1, earlier in this section, to determine the
highest screen resolution you can use with Glass. If needed,
adjust the Resolution slider to the left to choose a lower
value; otherwise, if your card supports it, the resolution
should set as high as it goes.
6. From the Colors drop-down listbox, select Highest (32 bit) and then
click OK.
7. Back on the Personalization page, click the Window Color and Appearance
link, and then click the Open classic appearance properties for
more color options link.
