Graphics problem on G73JH after clean install

So I've installed the latest (11.5) ATi drivers, yet Aero is still disabled by default (as if the laptop can't cope with it) and I get this when moving windows around:



Which generally happens on machines with shoddy built in graphics if I'm not mistaken?

What am I missing? Should I revert back to Asus' ATi drivers that were shipped with it, then update? Though I can't see what difference that would make.

Please advise.


Edit: Okay, so after running WEI Aero turns on, and it's fine. 5870m gets a 7.2. After a reboot, Aero is disabled again...then gets enabled as I open device manager.

edit #2: Just realised that it enables after I do something with administrator privileges. Obviously I could just log into the Admin account each time...but I'd rather just use mine.

 

Jakey, Have you updated your VBIOS? If you have not I would try that first.
If you are on an updated VBIOS, the another alternative is to do a clean install of the Video driver (11.5).

Yes I do have an updated vBIOS (might not be the very latest version, but it has been updated so that I don't GSOD or have problems with the latest display drivers). CCC reports I'm using 012.020.000.032.

It's not a driver problem, it's Windows being stupid. See edits to previous post.

Also, can I have your SSD *flutters eyelashes* pretty please?


Edit: For the moment, it's now working fine after a few successive reboots...I'm not sure what was up with it to begin with...but I'm not complaining.
