To the best of my knowledge, Aero support is available only in the 946 and 965 Intel chipsets. If the O/S perceived your system to be Aero capable, there would be an Aero line in the 'Display Properties' dialog.

So is there is no way to turn  it on regardless of vga as it was in beta ; i use vista ultimate release

I believe that is correct -- Intel is not providing WDDM drivers due to hardware limitations in the 915 chipset.

I have heard that some users were able to implement Aero in the early betas by turning off hardware checking in the Vista registry, but I cannot confirm this. I was unable to force Aero with my GeForce card until NVIDIA's beta drivers were available.

I need a way to enable them again but this time in RTM

as stated, Intel will not be releasing the WDDM driver for the 915 chipset

"Q5: Why doesn’t the Intel 915 Express chipset family support Windows Vista Aero?
A: The overall graphics architecture and design of the 915 Express chipset family (with Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 900 graphics engine) was finalized prior to Microsoft releasing details and specifications around the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) driver and running the Aero interface.  Given this, there are hardware limitations in the 915 Express chipset architecture that would limit graphics performance and memory capabilities when attempting to run WDDM on Vista.

The hardware limitations of 915/GMA900 graphics center around not having a large enough memory table to support Vista Aero, a key feature that is part of WDDM driver support.  This, along with hardware restrictions on surface placement and graphics memory alignment, results in graphics memory usage that is not optimized for Aero performance.   Additionally, the lack of native hardware support in the 915 Express chipset family for Vista’s dynamic memory management would result in slower graphics performance and a sub-optimal user experience with Windows Vista Aero.

With these identified limitations, the 915/GMA900-based graphics system would not have met the performance requirements for Aero desktop composition support under Vista.   This ultimately led to the decision to begin WDDM support with the Intel® 945 Express chipset products, as Intel addressed these hardware limitations with the desktop and mobile Intel® 945 Express chipset families.

To provide the best performance and user experience with Windows Vista on Intel® 915/GMA900 platforms, Intel will support Windows Vista on 915/GMA900 with the drivers based on the XP driver model."

I also have the same chipset, and am disappointed, and the reg hacks were disabled in the final release, so as far as I know there will be no way to enable
Aero on these chipsets
Sorry

I read this post, so i need for override to make it work

So later if there is anyway to do this someone please tell me how, Thanks Very much
