many ppl cant enable DWM in vista 5270 by registry key n TweakVista
i found a way to enable it:

old registry:
HKEY_local_machine/Software/Microsoft/DWM
-Animations (dword) (1)
-AnimationsShiftKey (dword) (1)
-Blur (dword) (1)
-Glass (dword) (1)
-UseAlternateButtons (dword) (1)
-CheckMachine (dword) (0)

New registry key:
HKEY_current_user/Software/Microsoft/DWM
-Animations (dword) (1)
-AnimationsShiftKey (dword) (1)
-Blur (dword) (1)
-Glass (dword) (1)
-UseAlternateButtons (dword) (1)
-UseMachineCheck (dword) (0)

after add in those key...jus restart n u will DWM...
pls take note tat CheckMachineTime changed to UseMachineCheck
pls take note tat HKEY_local_machine changed to HKEY_current_user

Latest News:
In the ever-changing release schedule for Windows Vista, nothing stays constant. But according to internal Microsoft documentation, the following dates are correct for the next several major milestones in the product. Currently, Microsoft plans to ship the feature-complete internal build on January 31, 2006, and then ship a near-feature-complete Community Technology Preview (CTP) build to testers on February 17. (To date, more than 50 product teams have submitted code for the feature-complete builds.) Windows Vista Beta 2 is due on April 12, followed by a release candidate (RC) build in July and release to manufacturing (RTM) in August. Assuming this last date is met, the general release of the product will occur in October.
