I heard thet aero might not work with only 1GB RAM, if you can i would suggest upgrading your RAM a bit, im running aero at 1.5GB, so it doesnt take much | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Built OS Windows XP in 1, and Windows 7 in 2 CPU AMD Athlon64 for both, 1.8GHz 2800 in 1, 2.2GHz 3200 in 2 Motherboard MSI MS-6702 for 1, WinFast NF4UK8AA in 2 Memory 768MB in 1, 1.5GB in 2 Graphics Card ATI D33053 in 1, Power Color HD2600 in 2 Sound Card both onboard sound Monitor(s) Displays both ViewSonic, A70 in 1, E70f in2 Screen Resolution 1280X960 on 2, and highest possiblke in Win 7 on 2 Keyboard DELL QuietKey 1, Microsoft Wireless Laser Keyboard 5000 2 Mouse Microsoft Wheel mouse optical USB 1, (same as above) 2 Cooling Both aircollerd systems Hard Drives Both 40GB, for now Internet Speed 6Mbps |

actually oversoul it should work with 1gb of ram...
i have a desktop with 1gb and a IGP running aero (so it would be theretically less memory about 786)...
what im thinking is that your video card might be too old...
this is a low end class video card... Quote: ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 is part of the lower middle class. The performance can be compared with an elder X600, but technically it is a X1300, which is scarcely 100 Mhz higher clocked.
For not very demanding DirectX 9 games the card is sufficient.
Because of the AVIVO video technology the card can help the CPU decode MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, WMV9 and VC-1 video formats. can you shows us your wei?
since in order to use aero you either need a 3.0 wei or wddm 1.0 or wddm 1.1 driver...

i am suspecting that either does not have the necessary video drivers installed
..
or that those drivers dont support aero..
a thought have you downloaded the Ati drivers?
the catalyst drivers should help you up the score... | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Tx2500z Tablet Pc/Homemade Server OS Windows 7 Ult x64(x2), HomePrem x32(x4), Server 08 (+VM), 08 R2 (VM) , SuSe 11.2 (VM), XP 32 (VM) CPU Turion X2 ultra (oh well came with laptop)/P4 @3.2 (yes P4) Motherboard IDK HP Motherboard / Intel DG965SS Memory OCZ Dual Channel 4GB kit/ 1gb Dual Channel Graphics Card HD 3200 graphics /GMA x3100 (yay for intergrated!!)
