I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium, and Aero worked fine, until it just
disappered, and the theme changed to Basic. Aero is no longer on the
theme-list. How can i get Aero back??

To reselect Aero, it is not a theme it is under Window Color and Appearance.
At the bottom of that page you will see, open classic appearance properties
for more color options. On the next page Windows Aero should be your first
selection. Select it and then select ok, it should be back.

Ulrik,

sometimes this happens to me, but i noticed when i am running itunes or
other non-windows style applications
it will say, windows vista basic theme changed for compatibility issues,
it'll switch back to aero when you exit
the app.

Aero is not on the list in Window Color and Appearance. I found an aero-theme
file in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes, but when i open it it just shows the
basic.

If you notice _ Vista tells you this information on your taskbar the moment
is switches to basic.

I know, this happens to me sometimes too, but this time it didn't showed
anything, it was just disappered when I started my computer up. And the aero
is not even there when i start my computer. And I tried to close and
uninstall a lot of my programs, but the aero is still gone ):

YES! I found the problem;
My colors had changed to 16 bit, where Aero needed 32 bit. I just changed it
from 16 to 32 and Aero came back!
Thanks for your help.
