windows aero glass effect problem

i just recently installed windows 7 on my laptop and can't get the really cool glass effect to work. when i restarted my computer once, as soon as i logged on it said it changed to windows 7 basic, i clicked on the little link and it said there was some program running in the background that couldnt support windows aero and i had never heard of it, and cant find out how to close it. my computer has a 3.3 WEI in graphics and gaming graphics, and 2 GB of ram. also everytime i try to change it back to aero it just does nothing and stays in basic, any suggestions??

i ended up figuring it out by myself... haha

Hi Ryaneb2005, can you please share the solution with us? It might help other users, who may have the same problem

oh, sure. It turned out there was a program running in the background that was incompatible with windows aero. I noticed this when i restarted the computer once and there was an icon in my toolbar that windows aero wasn't compatible with a program that was running, so i clicked on it and it told me the program (qttask, which is quick time i think), and i went to the task manager and found the program in the processes list, and ended it. After that, glass works great now.
