Upgrade: Doesn't Support Aero
Feb 9, 2009
I own windows xp and have it from 2006. i am thinking of upgrading to vista home premium. I ran the upgrade advisor and it said that i would have to update my video card since it doesn't support aero. i already have windows blinds and i tried an aero ultimate theme by fedia and aero worked fine. Fedia fedia also said that if u do not c transparent that means ur video card cannot support aero. however for me i saw the aero and experienced it so i was a little:S. I ran the upgrade advisor again and it told me that my system would support aero so now i am :S. I am very confused if i should upgrade or not and if my system would support windows home premium.

I just got a new LCD monitor to replace my old CRT monitor. the problem is the LCD doesn't support the resolution i used to have on the CRT which was 1280x1024. the maximum resolution on the LCD is 1280x768. well i have XP and vista dual booted and when i put up the new monitor i did everything in XP and totally forgot about doing the same thing for vista. so now my problem is when i try to log into vista i get a "Frequency out of range" because the vista resolution is 1280x1024 but now i have no idea how to fix it.

This is funny because I had the newest upate on my computer before I had to reformat.

I upgraded to 64 bit vista home premium about 3 weeks ago. When I entered the id for email support it said the product had expired so I have to pay $59.00 for support. I think that's a ripoff. My 32 bit disk is working just fine. The 64 bit is a new system and less than 90 days old.
Have had access denied error since creating the 64 bit when trying to set a restore point. I've tried everything I can find on the web including all Microsoft news groups. The 32 bit and 64 bit disks are pretty much Identical in content, programs. I suppose I can at least return the 64 bit update disk for $10.00 refund?

I want to use remote desktop to access my home desktop pc from on the road. I'm running Vista HPx64. Of course it doesn't support terminal server. There is however a little reg hack out there that will make it work. (Just google "remote desktop on vista home premium" and visit the first link) So! I run the little hack thing, and it works. it starts the service, and I can now RDP into my desktop from my laptop.
When I login to the remote desktop session from my laptop, it doesn't show the proper desktop profile on my desktop. Example, right now I'm typing this on my desktop. Firefox is open with several tabs, one of them being this forum post. So, if I were to open a remote desktop session from my laptop right now. I would login using the same account, my main administrator account, I would get a blank desktop..............

I'm very disappointed that windows mail doesn't support folders in the contact area. I hope some one from Microsoft see this and they reconsider putting a update to re add this feature. I just got this computer and already I want to send it back. I really need folders to keep my contacts sorted. Either add the option or let me download the old Outlook to install. And buying Office outlook is not a option.

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.

I have a Aspire AM5620-E5301A Acer computer. On Acer it has Windows Vista Premium Home. I bought Windows Ultimate software to put on my Acer computer. It starts to load up OK, put in the key number in than next step is. To pick custom install or upgrade install, but upgrade choice is grey out. It is disable from using the upgrade choice, I want to choose to pick. I did not purchase Windows Ultimate through Acer anytime upgrade option. It was a store bought software it was cheaper than Acer price they offer. What is the problem with installing Ultimate with Acer computer?

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.
