    Hi.
    I am having a very dificult time in trying to enable SLI an vista with Aero Glass effects, cuz vista is always about visiual so vista without Aero means nothing special at all.

    so is there any solution for this problem?

    look into BIOS.

    You might find something wrong there

    might be a stupid question, but have you contacted AW support with this issue?
