I checked, no compatibility issues or visualization settings checked. It still is a problem. I'm not sure which is more frustrating, the fact that Aero shuts off, or the fact that I can't figure out the problem!

No I have not. That may have to be my next step.

That did not work... Back to square 1.

Thanks! It looks like the driver may be out of date... I'm downloading now. I will let you know if this is it or not. Thanks again.

I am talking about title bar transparency of all the other applications (IE10, Outlook, Skype, PLM software, etc.). Not the transparency of the info boxes within NX. AERO effects are automatically turned off upon startup of NX9, but they still work with NX8. How do I keep AERO effects on?

I am wondering if there is a System setting or maybe an NVidia setting that could be turning off the transparency? It is still odd that NX8 works and NX9 doesn't...

Yes, As I said, I have followed that step to ensure that "Enable Transparency" is set on. It has no effect on any of the windows. It does not enable or disable any window transparency. That's why I am thinking it is a System setting.

I have NX9 installed but I haven't started using it yet because I hate the way it changes the theme of my whole system. I have transparency enabled in windows and the title bars are nice and dark (good eye relief for working all day). When I start NX9, the transparency shuts off, and the title...

Thanks guys, You're right Lionel, I was not thinking about it like that. There's a lot going on and I wasn't thinking correctly! I really am thinking that the blade is at fault... I think I can draw up a good conclusion with the data I have.

zeus - Yes I am measuring CFM, amps, CFM/W, at each static pressure point in increments of 0.05" w.g. up to about 0.3". But our fan does not reach the efficiency (CFM/W) that we would like. That's the main issue. I'm just comparing the performance of all of the motor/blade combinations to try to...

Thanks again, John, yes SF of 1.5 is high, but these are European engineers who don't try that hard to Americanize the motors that we sell here in the State.... Part of why I'm having this discussion. If you ask the engineer over there, he will tell you that it is a 1.5HP motor, but we sell it...

The problem is they have never designed a CSCR motor, so they wouldn't be able to tell me the difference. I'm more curious about the experimental implications of making a PSC motor into a CSCR motor... is this a flawed method? I don't need to know too much about the slip, but I do assume that...

OK then, here's the next question: I have a 1HP PSC motor (1.5 SF) of our own that under-performs... Is it a flawed experiment to decrease the capacitor size on it and create a manual switch with a large capacitor to simulate a CSCR motor? Will this give me a good indication of what the motor...

I really appreciate the responses! Especially jraef for taking the time to write out that long answer. It has already been insightful! Waross: I checked out the paper and I found a table that stated PSC is typically used up to 1HP while CSCR is used from 2-15HP. I'm sure that there is a...

I am a Mechanical Engineer, but I am the only engineer in the USA for my company, so I really need to get a better understanding of what the design differences are in the windings of the two motor types. My story may be long, but I would really appreciate any help! My company manufactures...
