Vista 5219 problems...

[ovctvct]

For some reason, Aero blur is missing, games don't work and dxdiag fails to find the correct Vram size and other info. I'm using VMware Workstation 10.0.3 with the hounsell's 6.5 driver. All of those worked before, but now they don't.

Try changing the VM compatibility to "Workstation 6.5-7.x", then try again.

I done that already, but it still doesn't work.

Sometimes, just changing the VM compatibility mode won't work. In this case:

1. Set the VM compatibility mode to the earliest available version.
2. Reinstall your desired OS. (I'm sorry to say this, but sometimes that's the only way out)
3. If you want, you can now set the VM compatibility mode to your desired version.

Try installing vmware 7.1.4 if it helps.

[ovctvct]

Reinstalled it and the problem still happens

Did you try it with vmware 7.1.4?

Not, I'll try it now
EDIT: Works now
But why didn't it work with 10.0.3? It did before on 10 as well.
LOL, I even got to see BA on 5219 :

Because 10 has different 3d acceleration engine that 7.1.4. Beginning around 8 or 9, the graphics accelerator was changed. I've tried using 4066 in vmware 10, and no dx7 based acceleration worked. Just so happens that the nice things in LH appeared to be dx7 based.

Same with 4074, longhorn 5219 is meant for older hardware and if you don't have any old hardware then you are stuck with vmware 7.1.4.

Why not 7.1.6? Just asking.

You can try it on 7.1.6 too but I haven't tested 7.1.6 yet so you can give 7.1.6 a go.
