Nvidia GTX260 1080p Windows Basic Theme
I have just got a new Acer 24" LED 1080p monitor. It has been connected using VGA and the resolution has been at 1920x1080 and its fine and running Windows 7 Aero theme. The problem is when I plug the monitor in with a HDMI cable and set the resolution to 1080p the theme switches to Windows 7 Basic and I am unable to enable Aero at all. Can anyone help with this problem? My graphics card is a XFX GTX260.

The gfx card is probably fine. Have you installed the Drivers for the monitor?

Can't believe I didn't check that. Just installed upto date drivers from the Acer website and now it works fine, guess the ones Windows Update installed we're an older version.
