Windows Aero in Vista
I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit. I recently had a clean reinstall made, and although I have not noted at the time, it seems that the 'Aero' feature did not work since then (can't swear to this, but it certainly doesn't now). When I go into the Control Panel/window color and appearance, there is no option for Aero from the drop down. Only standard Windows and classic.
All other references to Aero in any other part of the Panel are missing. I started to do a reinstall of Vista but have not found a "repair installation" version stopped until I did before I made things worse!
Any ideas? Are just the Aero files missing? My chart "score" in the Windows Experience is 4.8, so should be fine for Aero and drivers have been updated.
Thank you

============================================
Don't forget to check with the system manufacturer (manufacturer of motherboard for systems to measure) and the real
manufacturer of video device for updated video drivers.
This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:
-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html
For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - Device Manager - graphics card - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on set to update driver
(this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
This will refresh the driver stack.
Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with
their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.
Now in system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), then the manufacturer of the device
site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and)
software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)
Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AS ADMIN - reset after each
installation.
Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up.
This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so
install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and try again if necessary.
Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check manually
by model.
Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

I have windows aero and there is nothing rong with it I just do not know how to change the settings for the table 3D im just get a basic block of each document or running program. It just doesn't feel the same as when he was ahead on the 3D flip chart. help please e-mail me back as soon as possible please
Thank you
Hello George,.
To turn on Aero in Windows:
To change the Windows Vista Aero color scheme 1. Open appearance by clicking the Start button settings, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, customization, and then clicking window color and appearance. If the appearance settings dialog box is not displayed, at the bottom of the page, click Open classic appearance properties.
2. In the color scheme list, click Windows Vista Aero, and then click OK.
Once you have enabled Aero, I think this will be easier for you to do whenever you want on or OFF the 3DFlip. You can also open Flip 3D by pressing the keys CTRL + Windows + TAB. You can then press TAB to cycle through the windows. (You can also press RIGHT ARROW or ARROW down to navigate forward one window, or press LEFT ARROW or UP ARROW to navigate to the back office.) Press ESC to close Flip 3D.
Hope this helps you. Make it a great day!

My windows aero theme disappeared on my dell inspiron 1545.
I put my computer in mode 'sleep' last night, and after a few hours I turned back on it. much to my annoyance, available to windows on usual measure was nowhere to seen, and he was replaced by a gray opaque which I don't like so much. I realized to my horror that my beloved theme Aero, which I had used for 2 years, was absent, and instead the computer has been set by default at the base of Vista. I was not uncomfortable with its primitive features, so I decided to find out how to get Aero.
The first thing I did was click on personalize, then window color and appearance. This didn't work at all, as long as the option was not among the choices of Windows Aero. So that's all for the Plan.
I raised the questions of other users who have had the same problem. Among solutions prohibited for them was that graphic drive should be upgraded. I know that my drive has been already updated a few months before this problem, he didn't need.
Then, I heard to reconfigure a certain place in the register, namely HKEY_CURRENT_USER, in order for Aero back, so I thought I would try it out. I walked into the registry "regedit", scrolled down to find this place, and would you believe, I could NOT EVEN FIND the!
Either it is nowhere in the registry or it hides like ninja among the masses in there. (If anyone can tell me how to locate in the registry, I would be happy).
Now I'm not sure what to do. My computer will be like a stranger to me without the Aero theme and I want the good old, friendly computer back I've had for two years. If anyone, no matter WHO, he knows the ultomate solution, I will deal with my best friend of the internet worldwide (not literally, just a figure of goodwill). So please, give me an answer!

MY WINDOWS AERO THEME SUDDENLY APPEARED FROM nowhere SHARE, zigzag3143x
OK, HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED:
IN WHAT I THOUGHT, IT WAS SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT (AND LESS IMPORTANTLY), I NOTICED THAT THE RESOLUTION OF THE SCREEN WAS TOO WIDE FOR MY TASTE SO I RIGHTCLICKED ON THE DESK AND WENT TO CUSTOMIZE AND THEN CLICK DISPLAY SETTINGS.
I CHANGED THE RESOLUTION, AND NOT ONLY CHANGED THE SIZE, HE BROUGHT BACK THE AERO! IT IS ACTUALLY RETURNED, FEATURES, COLORS AND ALL! I PUT THE COMPUTER TO SLEEP AND IT WAS RESTARTED TWICE, AS I DID WHEN AERO DISAPPEARED. NOTHING HAPPENED, THE NA NO AERO IS IN GO
IM SURPRISED. I MEAN, THE RESOLUTION WAS A WORLD AWAY FROM THE AERO QUESTION, AND NOW THESE TWO ARE NOW LINKED IN SOME WAY.
zigzag3143x, I'M STUNNED AND HAPPY AT the SAME TIME, BUT ALSO WOOLLEY. I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE GRAPHICS DRIVER, ALTHOUGH I WAS DUBIOUS, BUT I NEVER THINK THAT A SIMPLE SCREEN RESOLUTION CHANGE WOULD BRING BACK MY BELOVED WINDOWS AERO.
I'M GOING TO INSTALL A NEW DRIVER BECAUSE I AGREE WITH YOU THAT IT MIGHT BE DAMAGED, BUT CAN YOU EXPLAIN HOW THIS HAPPENED?
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP MAN! YOU ARE A BROTHER FOR LIFE

Where can I find Windows Aero?
So I got a pop-up, box of information, whatever it is called. Among other things, there is a section with information on ' Windows Aero '. He had visuals and says how it worked... How it was different from my "regular" office It also sets out what programs you can use with. I have Windows Vista - home premium that was on the list of "qualified" for Aero. However, I have not found anywhere what I have to do to use it or how to get it. I'm completely lost regarding what to do next. I do not understand if its an additional program which must be purchased, if I'm supposed to charge from a place, for example a windows or the microsoft Web site, if it is something like a change in the configuration that is already on this computer or just a feature of customization...? So, I guess the question would be what/how I enter "Aero"? What I do, where do I go to change what is currently on my computer for 'Aero '? I really like what I've read about it and would like to try. If anyone knows how to help, please!

Read the link above.
Vista Basic doesn't come with Aero.
Click Start > right click on computer > properties > system > it will tell you it what Version of Vista you have.
If you are sure that you now have Vista Basic and not just lack of graphics drivers:
You will need to take it back to the shop.
If you have purchased Home Premium, and they put Home Basic on it, you are going to have problems, try to activate it.
Get them to reinstall the correct version of the Vista operating system: Vista Edition Home Premium.When retrieve you:
Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/laptop > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.
Your product key on your computer, if HomePremiumt came pre-installed, will be for the home edition Premium, basic family no.
See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner
