Windows 7 Basic vs Windows Aero

Hello! These are two different themes, that are built in Windows 7.
These caption buttons are from Windows 7basic theme. This theme is when GPU drivers are not installed or the GPU doesn't support DX 9.0 and/or WDDM 1.0(Windows Vista driver) or WDDM 1.1 (Windows 7 driver).

To get Windows 7 Aero , you should check if your GPU have at least Windows Vista WDDM drivers (Windows Vista WDDM drivers work on Windows 7) and if it supports DX 9.0. GeForce 7300LE or ATI Radeon X300/550/1050 are bare minimum for Windows Aero to work.
Don't forget to install compatible WDDM drivers for Windows Aero to work.
