I updated the driver by going to the device manager, and WIndows said it was up to date. :huh: So I can't have Aero?

according to this you need a driver installed, it is using the standard vga driver at the moment. have you looked at your laptops website for a vista driver that suits your card?

Lemur has pretty much summed up the answer to your query.
In addition to Windows Blinds, some users have implemented some funny workaround
