    Cannot select aero themes on win7 home premium


    Hi, can't seem to select any of the aero themes on my HP DV6. I could select them previously. I have run through the basics, eg updating graphics drivers etc, trawling through the multiple aero threads on this forum and gone through the step by steps on this one (http://windows7themes.net/how-to-enable-windows-7-aero-theme.html#enableaerothemes) too but nothing seems to work

    I've also used Speccy to update my UserCP, so you can see what I currently have on my paperweight.

    ANY help would be gratefully accepted.

    TVM!

    Welcome to the Seven Forums
    If you have done the troubleshooting and also upgraded your graphics card driver and the things in that link you posted I am going to suggest that you do a Repair Install
