Check out how this guy got his Dell 2400 to work with Aero, scroll down to post #5. He installed a Gforce 5500FX which he purchased for 25 bucks off ebay. He ran a 2.9 wei for the graphics score which would run aero.

The registry hacks only work for graphics cards that can support Aero, but something other than the graphics card and/or drivers is stopping it.

You can either use third-party programs or just buy a new graphics card, as said.
