Run it again after you have upgraded the memory... are you using Value Ram or other slow ram.
you may need a second module of at least 512 mb... But it is usually the quality of the memory. Run MemTest86 for four hours or seven passes, which ever is longer. |

Just an absolute shot in the dark here, but DirectX 9 is a listed graphics requirement for Aero, and I don't believe your graphics chip supports it. Perhaps that's why your system failed the Windows 7 test.
It's also worth noting that my old Radeon 9200se lost driver support with Vista -- and it doesn't seem your HP ZV5330US has Vista/7 drivers at all either. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...roduct=433744& |
