How To Enable Aero Scheme
Aug 25, 2008
As you can see, the Icons have like a White or Black thing round them. I think the smoothing is not ok. I also Can`t enable the Aero Scheme, don`t know why. I just turned my Computer off, and when i turned it on again, there was no Wallpaper, the wallpaper was a gray solid color, and the Bar, the one that has the quick launch, etc was all black, it wasn`t on Aero Scheme, the way it was. I tried System Restore, searched for Virus in AVG on Slow Scan, and adjusted it for best appearence in Advanced System Settings

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 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?

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 truned this off a while ago and since then I bought a $350 video card and Aero still turns off when going to certain web pages and I want to find out what is still causing this after such and expensive up grade to get so little in return. So how do I turn this warning back on? The card is an 8800GTX.

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 was wondering if someone could help me. I can't figure out how to make my color scheme stay in any particular setting. IE. I use WMP classic and it (I think) is not compatible with Windows Aero color scheme, so it changes automatically from Aero to Basic, then back to Aero when WMPC is closed.
That is not the problem, my problem is that I would like to just put the scheme back to Window Vista Basic, thus avoiding the need to change back and forth all the time. Everytime I reboot the scheme comes back as Aero.
This seems so simple, just select desired scheme, apply then once I logout or reboot those settings should save.

Although the built in speakers in my laptop work perfectly - music, dvds, videos, etc. - my vista default sound scheme has stopped working. It was working previously and I am at a loss to understand why it has stopped. I have checked that the speakers are not muted, ensured that the levels are properly set, checked that I have the most up to date driver, etc., etc., etc. None of the sounds work, including the start up, normal alerts and so on. When I go to the sound scheme and test individual sounds they do not play, however, if I open the individual sound files they will sound in media player. I know there is an expert out there somewhere who will know what to do.

Power Scheme-Sleep Mode I use Vista on my Dell PC and have my power settings set to turn off my monitor in 15 minutes and my PC in 20 minutes (sleep mode). When my PC enters the Sleep mode, it only stays in that mode a short time, usually three or so minutes at the maximum, then it activates and my monitor turns on. Is this normal for this power option? I would expect my PC to stay in the Sleep
mode for a longer period of time, at least some of the time.

Why does Win 7 want to fall back to a "basic" colour scheme? When I start to watch an AVI file in Win Media player it almost immediately pops a message to say that perfromance is slow.... running low on mem for Aero...suggest I go to basic display Why would it do that? I have Win 7, a damn good sys - with 6Gb of mem. I did read that it caused some incompatability with progs - but I using an AVI in MS media player... so surely that should be compatible? I have breakdown of how file was encoded if people interested - but lets keep simple for now... Why would MS media player make Win7 do that?

I have trouble playing all of my 3 AOEIII games as DEP is stopping it and/or protection stub (it happens with both). I found the John Barrett page on after doing a Google, and it explained how to disable the DEP for such problems, which I did. It also gave the re-enable process as well. I have tried to re-enable the DEP about 5 or 6 times now, following word for word what John Barrett has suggested for re-enabling DEP but to no avail.
It just will not enable? It's all greyed out and nothing works. Before I had to reformat last night, what I did was 'turn on DEP for all programs except those I select' and this worked once I had pointed DEP in the direction of the games and the other program that would not work. However, I cannot do anythig at all with the DEP now and I just don't know what the hell to do? Can anyone offer some kindly advice please, to a relative newb who knows nothing about this type of thing?

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'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?

Vista ultimate sp1. I upgraded the P4 processor. Enabled hyperthreading in the bios. PCwizard says the system can do hyperthreading, but it's disabled. Benchmarks indicate this is true. If I reload vista from scratch, hyperthreading is enabled and works. Benchmarks much better. I really don't want to have to reinstall from scratch. Is there a way to enable hyperthreading without a reinstall?

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 do not want Aero on my computer. Have followed instructions to disable, but the aero still "crops up." Cannot find anything in knowledge base or anywhere to get rid of the entire program display.
