Hi,
I am using Windows 7. I want to enableDesktop Composition. But it is not shown in Control Panel> Performance Information and Tools>Adjust Visual Effects>Performance Options.
So how can I enable Desktop Composition in WIndows 7?
Thanks in Advance,
Vivek
from your screen, the lowest scores are for your video card and one other item. they are at 1.0. that leads me to believe your hardware doesn't meet the specs. and thus you cannot enable AERO or Desktop Composition.
Did this system come configured with Windows 7 or was it an old system upgraded to Windows 7?

is that sort of what you are looking for?
Vivek - Desktop Composition is part of Aero and is on by default. If you want to disable it you will need to disable Aero.
If byDesktop Composition you mean Windows

Cole/B-C,
As per screenshot attached, I dont have Desktop composition optioin in Performance options list.
I want to enable Desktop Composition, so that in the taskbar, different windows can be seen in boxes together.
I hope you understand my query.

If you want to run Windows7 on your PC, here's what it takes:
-

1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
-
16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
-

Additional requirements to use certain features:
-

-
Depending on resolution, video playback may require additional memory and advanced graphics hardware

Some games and programs might require a graphics card compatible with DirectX10 or higher for optimal performance

Product functionality and graphics may vary based on your system configuration. Some features may require advanced or additional hardware.
probably gonna need a minimum of 128MB video ram as well for aero interface.
I have upgraded this system from Win XP to Windows 7.
does it meet the requirements? if not, then that is why it is not enabled.
How can I increase video RAM?
if its a desktop, replace your video card with one that meets the requirements. If its a laptop, you are SOL.
I have updated my Video Driver and now its working.. Cheers!! :)
Thanks All!!
