reg windower work?

if u are referring to az's windower, no it does not...BUT, it is because of my video card, i am already aware of this. the problem was posted in az's forums about it and people are aware. the thing is, i've seen a couple other posts of people with my exact same problem. however, they neglected to post the solution to the problem and ive failed to contact any of them

Found another problem:
