You should probably start a NEW thread about this problem.

Also, please fill in your system specs. It will greatly accellerate the memberships ability to provide you with good information.

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

Hello EJ, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Here are some items to check to be able to have Aero and Transparency.

• Aero is not available in Windows 7 Starter edition.
• 1 GHz 32-bit or 64-bit processor
• 1 GB of system memory
• A graphics card with support for DirectX 9 graphics with at least 128 MB of memory.
• The graphics card must support Pixel Shader 2.0 and the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM).
• Aero theme used.
• The Desktop Window Manager Session Manager and Themes Services need to be set as Started and Automatic.
• You must be have True Color (32 bit) set instead of High Color (16 bit).
• Desktop composition needs to be enabled (checked) in Visual Effects.
• Refresh or update your WEI score.

Hope this may help,
Shawn

[ej18]

You just didn't do the rest of the instructions.

Right click on Desktop Window Manager Session Manager, click on Properties, select Automatic from the drop down box next to "Startup type", click on Apply, click on Start, then click on OK.

 

[ej18]

start is not available sir:

 

[Brink]

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

thank u so much here:

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.
