    I installed Vista build 5536 on my SZ160, everything is working fine except I'm not getting the glass effect with either video adapter options, the integrated Intel version or the Nvidia 7400. What do I have to do to get glass to work?

    Build 5536 is the pre RC1 version of Vista. Aero glass runs just as well with the integrated Intel graphics as it does with the Nvidia 7400 video card. This build is surprisingly stable and fun to use, it has a modern feeling that XP lacks.
