Everything you ever wanted to know (and then some) about the Intel 945GM
chipsets graphics capabilities with the exception of how much video RAM can
be found here:
http://download.intel.com/design/mob...s/30921903.pdf.
Given what is there including PCI-express support, directx 9.1, etc., I
would believe that this is Aero Glass capable with the possible exception of
the amount of video RAM, 128mb is the minimum.
I assume this is a pretty recent laptop, so I would say check the
manufacturers site for their Vista support. It may just be a driver or BIOS
setting issue.
