Hi ej18,
First of all, Aero is not available with Windows 7 Starter or Home Basic. If you have either of these, you will not be able to use Aero. You also need to use a Windows theme to display Aero graphics.
To make sure your computer meets hardware requirements to use Aero, visit http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/What-is-the-Aero-desktop-experience

Oh, ok. Sorry.
Leave it set to Automatic, and restart the computer to see if it may start automatically afterwards.

ANy chance we could get the model and specs of your card? Minimum requirements are 256Mb for aero to work.
All you have to do is google aero requirements

EJ,
From looking at your Neo Basic B3140 N specs, you have a SiS Mirage 3+ integrated graphics.
Double check in your BIOS settings to make sure that you have enough memory allocated for the graphics chip. 256MB recommended and default.
