    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

    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...

    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...

    sorry, it was just something i had heard, and more RAM is always useful anyway, but the video card could also be the problem, although i have never had any problems

    yes your are correct about the ram...
    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...
