Aero Is Missing FromThemes
Jul 7, 2009
I have Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64 bit. My Windows Experience is currently 4.0. I have an ATI Radeon HD 3400 Series with up to date drivers. When I first got this laptop, Aero was enabled. Somewhere along the way, it has disappeared from my options. If I go to Personalize->Window Color and Appearance I get the old style Appearance Settings dialog box pops up and I cannot check transparency I cannot run a system restore as it does not go back far enough. I am not running in power saving mode and the Desktop Window Manager Session Manager service is running. I'm so frustrated as I have been working on this practically all day.

My video card died, and I had to use an old card with very limited memory. The emergency card did not support Aero. I installed a new ATI card with 512 MB onboard memory (a Radeon HD2600Pro AGP 8X card) which supports Vista. I got the Aero scheme back - transparency, etc., but the icons on the quick
launch bar for 3D viewing of open windows or desktop are gone. Is there a way to get them back?

I have a Hp Pavillion computer with windows vista home premium and somehow I could not get Windows Aero to work. When I first had this computer, I had Windows Aero running with all the translucent effects.So I do know that my computer is compliant with windows aero but its somehow disabled. My computer automatically changed to windows vista basic.

I've got an Sony VGN-BX197XP laptop that I've upgraded to Windows Vista Ultimate. Since then I've encountered some strange display-related issues:
1) I could only boot into Aero about 50% of the time. The rest of the time I forced onto the Standard theme with no Aero option. Since installing Vista SP1 I can't get Aero at all.
2) When not running in Aero mode I can't get the Windows Media Player to play video files, nor get a Perfomance Index.
3) If I plug in an external monitor I can't get a picture on the laptop monitor but I *do* get a picture on the external monitor and it runs Aero 100% of the time. It will also play video files and give me a performance index.

A lot of times, I just can NOT right-click, or do many other things, etc. Like...
Can't Right CLick
Missing Menubar
Missing Menu Commands
Thing won't open
History Dropdown list in IE Messed up!
I think it's Memory/resource BUG, am I right? What's the cause? How do I fix it?

Alright, I'm not necessarily the most computer savvy person so I let one of my friends who is genius with this stuff work his magic on my computer every once in awhile.
Well, one of the first things he did to my laptop when I got it, was get rid Aero. At first I didn't mind, but now I want it back. And I mean its gone. When I go into "Window Color and Appearance" it doesn't even have the Aero option listed anymore.

I no longer have Aero theme enabled, and, I can't select it from the list. This has started after I had to format my drive and install Vista all over. Everything else with it seems just fine. Only this "Windows Vista Transparency" is not working. There is only one place I can think of to enable it at, and it is not there. Do I need to install some updates?
There should be another option there "Windows Vista Ultimate" I think, but I could be wrong.
But how do I enable transparency and all of the other effects of Aero?

I've just installed Vista Home Premium recently and there appears to be no Aero. I've checked through the personalization menu, control panel, etc, but still no Aero. I I have a bad graphics card, but it's at least 128MB. My score for Desktop Performance for Aero is 1.9.

I'm confused about the Aero Glass interface. Is the Aero Glass interface the same as the Aero color theme listed in display properties? If a person has Vista Home Premium and their computer's hardware supports it, does Vista default to Aero Glass or Aero Basic? The reason I ask is because when I first turned on my laptop, the windows were transparent and I could see the desktop through the borders when the windows were maximized. Was this Aero Glass? Does running Vista in Windows Classic Mode (where it looks like Win9x) save RAM and CPU cycles, or does it not make a difference as long as the hardware is strong enough to support Aero Glass?

I have Nvidia 8800Gt Up-to-date Drivers 1tb Hd Runnign Vista Ulti 32 and i just applied a crap load of patches last night and then Sp2 about a hour ago. And now Aero disappeared, Checked Services and all that jazz, everything is running. Already redid my score. Every time i try a Theme the uses Aero i get Windows Classic. Along with SP2 Windows Poweshell was installed, could that be messing it up? I dont have anything but updates recently installed. no incompatibility programs. I heard that sometimes when u apply Service patches ur Serial can mess up and might need re-activation? Cuz i remember before i bought a Ultimate Serial after the time limit i couldn't use Aero. I upgraded from Basic to Ulti. So yea, Checked the services, did the score, checked reg, checked processes, and tried most of things suggested on the forums.

I am using Vista Home Premium 32bit. I used to have the Windows Aero theme, but one day it disappeared.
If I go to Control Panel>Appearance & Personalisation>Personalisation> Window Color and Appearance, I have Windows Standard and Windows Classic color schemes listed, but Windows Aero has disappeared.

There are many themes for Windows XP Luna interface. Windows Vista, however, has only one version of Aero ( we can change the color and its intensity though). Is it possible to make other themes for Aero, like different system button styles or different border, different material, etc. Or, is it impossible to customize it by its architecture? I'm not going to make a custom theme, but am just curious about it. PS : Personally, I like Aero better than Mac OSX's look and feel, except for fonts and menus. I like OSX's larger fonts and translucent menu better.

I can't find Windows Aero on the list in step 2
1.. A window will appear, with a list of available themes in a drop-down menu, with corresponding illustrations below. The setting should be on "Vista Basic" as default.
2.. In the drop-down menu there is an option for "Windows Aero"
3.. Click it, then select Apply then OK and you're computer will be configured to Windows Vista Aero.

I like the Aero glass theme, and I often find myself moving aero windows in front of stuff just to see the blur effect, so I wonder I want just a big Aero window, with nothing in it like just a sheet of glass to move around on my desktop. how hard would that be to code? couldn't be too hard right? any coders want to write this for me? or anyone know of some source code that I could strip to make it just a blank window?

Recently installed Ult 64 bit, all working great except Aero refuses to run. WE Index As you can see it should run. Personalise,.. Windows and appearence is only showing Basic. If you can't get into Windows Colour and Appearence how can you Enable Transparency,? This means applications such as Dreamscene are unable to run.

I'm Rean and I'm experiencing some problems about the color scheme in my computer. I'm using Vista Home Premium for 2 years now. When I log in to my account user, the computer refreshed and then the whole settings about the appearance changed. I tried to fix it in windows appearance and when I looked in the choices, I can't find Windows Aero and Windows Home Basic. I don't know why but it just disappeared when I logged in. I tried to restart my computer but nothing happens. It still doesn't appear.
