    EDIT4: laptops, if on power saver, also won't show it.
    I've had Aero since I got it two days ago, I don't know what I did. And its set on 32 bit.

    It's not letting me view the thing whocares.

          You don't download anything to install Aero, especially not from some site that isn't Microsoft...it comes with Home Premium and above...

          Did you do the little performance index thingy Vista has? The Windows Experience Index? I think if you score low enough on that it disables Aero.

          Try updating your video card's drivers.

            but how does his rating go down if he's had it
            anyway 'aero' should go here x:\Windows\Resources\Themes

                His rating wouldn't have gone down, it was just be the first time he's run it if that is indeed the problem.

                  Look, I may have pressed something on my keyboard, it's an Asus.

                    Idk if any key combination could have disabled Aero

                    X drive is whatever your OS is installed on, probably C:

                    Just go to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes and see if Aero stuff is still there

                      Still can't find it. Aero is sitting on my desktop. I clicked one of the icons, the Windows Visual Style one, and it took me to the Appearance Settings screen, with Aero still not on the list.

                        I'm pretty sure it has to be in the C:\Windows\Resources\Themes folder to show up in the list

                            Can you right click on Computer on the Start Menu and choose Properties, and tell me if it says anything under System next to Rating

                            Also while you're there click on Device Manager, go to the Display Adapter, and look for the latest drivers for your graphics card.

                              It says I'm unrated.

                              Under Display Adapters it says:

                              NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS
                              This device is working properly.

                                Ok well go to http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce...9.48_beta.html and download and install the driver, then try running the rating thing

                                If that doesn't work I'm out of ideas
